I received a nice Silver Seal (a 5-Star review) from Readers’ Favorite for Incognito, my Vatican thriller.
I was happy to read that the reviewer felt the darkness in the story. It was an effort I put in not only in dialogue, action but in the way I described scenes, including weather.
I’ve been asked to produce another novel with the same characters. We shall see. I enjoyed writing this story. To be frank, I could’ve continued writing further. The darkness somewhat became an obsession with me but I knew I had to write The End at the right moment.
The book is close to the heart. It is based on personal experiences during my trip to Europe that became materials for the story. If you like snow, this is the book for you.
Saint Peter’s square, Vatican City. Almost every religious thriller novel and movie about the Vatican will have an image of it. It has become the standard.
In fact, authors have covered almost every inch of the Vatican that’s its really tough to produce original scenes and ideas.
But I had a good creative director when I used to work a short while at an ad agency. I noticed how he saw things differently even if something had been overused. It took me a while to see how he sees things, and then an idea hit me.
I saw something at the square that jumped out at me. I realized how this could work for INCOGNITO. As with my first novel, Smokescreen, expect the unexpected.
