Cliff Hanger Saturday Just Like the Matinees of Old




Cliff Hanger Saturday is a place where you can post your favorite "cliff hangers" of all time or just good writing at the end of the scene. (if not your own work, please give credit to the author and the book.) We all know, a scene should not end with anyone going to sleep. YAWN. But sometimes we see this. If the characters go to sleep, so do we.

So share favorites or write one here.

I have been posting excerpts for advertising and Rogue Phoenix Press. If you are writing an excerpt for something make sure that excerpt ends making the reader turn the page and read on. Do we want the reader up all night? Of course we do.

I think George R. Martin author of Ice and Fire series is an expert at cliff hangers. Perhaps that is why his books are so very good. The cliff hanger keeps me coming back for more.
