I’m still not sure if I want to give the soon-to-be-retitled Thirty Minutes Or Less supernatural mystery series a third redo, or if I should just go in another direction entirely, trying on a different series to see if that sparks a creative burst. I’m only days away from my big, week-long fishing and quiet getaway, and I’ll have my laptop with me. It would be an ideal time to begin work on either a third go at my current series, or a great time to start a new series.
The main problem is, if I go an entirely new direction, what concept would I go with? I still want to stay in the mystery realm, I will want something a bit light-hearted. The only thing I’m not sure of is whether I’d go with a supernatural element again, since that concept is what makes my Pizza Delivery Mystery series unique.
One idea I’m batting around is mixing my knowledge of church-planting and ministry with my interest in mystery novels, and coming up with a series centered around a mystery-solving Messianic rabbi. But the concept is so niche, it might be a real hard-sell. But it would certainly help me draw from current experiences of the last few years more strongly. But at least it wouldn’t require me to have intimate knowledge of something completely foreign to me, like stainless steel drums.
