Opening Hooks


Author's Notes

What does it take to hook you? I know for me, personally, I need quick action. I need to know that my blood pressure will be rising very quickly after opening the book. (My ADHD doesn't exactly help me here.)

Readers decide quickly whether to continue reading.

Your first paragraph must create curiosity-a desire to continue.
