Welcome to Thriller Thursday!
This week we have a treat for you. Jodie Renner shares advice that is paramount to writing a great thriller. The Villain.

The villain deserves a great deal of attention from the writer. Wouldn’t you agree? Renner shares terrific villain character development tips and also opens up this week’s discussion. How evil should a modern villain be?
