Lower the Convertible Top and Cruise to Favorite Destinations

Some people complain about predictable plots, and I have to
smile because some of the most memorable, most popular stories-Pretty Woman, Misery, The Hangover, Gone
with the Wind, Skyfall and any other James Bond movie, The Sound of Music, Mr. and Ms. Smith, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Silver
Linings Playbook, 17 Again, The Proposal and Freaky Friday, to name a few,
include foreseeable scenes/chapters and endings. Would I watch any of these
movies again for a 10th time? Inevitably—always
yes because the story resonated with me in some way, it made me laugh, made me
cry, it made me nervous, but above all, it made me care about the characters. But
love for a story or book begins with a mesmerizing journey that leads to the much
hoped for yet sometimes obvious ending. The journey enchants, horrifies or
captivates the reader. My best advice, don’t skip the trip if the ship travels
to a known port of call—Romantic Comedy, Suspense, Drama or Action Adventure—because
the potential to be entertained, to be inspired, to be enlightened, to be
surprised, to be shocked or to be awe-struck awaits.

Having said all of that, I recommend a voyage to one of the
most dangerous countries in the world to adopt a child, to become a target of
an angry Russian Mafioso, to stand in a Russian court and to find the escape
door back to the US. Step into the shoes of a childless couple determined to
succeed at any cost. Multi-Award-Winning Beautiful
Evil Winter, which earned honors for “…writing of significant merit…” as
well as a Readers’ Favorite International Book Award-Suspense, may be the next
“predictable” story to add to a long list of unforgettable exotic adventures.
For an equally exciting, equally startling, equally engaging read, consider
my just released novel, Plenty,
a haunting story infused with chills,
thrills, spills and razor-sharp suspense. Most of all, Plenty, doesn’t merely pushback but, punches back at Fifty Shades of Grey. See my website www.kellyklavenderauthor.com for
more information about both books.
