There is nothing more relaxing than finding a good book to read. Suspense fiction books are easy to get lost in and a good one will have you turning pages all night until it is finished. A good book will be one where the story keeps you guessing until the very end.

There is nothing like a book filled with suspense and wonder unlike a non- fiction the characters in fiction are made up so they could be anyone the author intends. They can be a vicious and cruel as the imagination of the writer. If you think you have what it takes to write a good page turner why not start one. All it would take is a great imagination and some thought as to how the character should become as real to the reader as to you the writer.

If you are just considering writing as a hobby, you can take your time. Start off slow and let it happen as it does. You do not have to rush out and write the best seller in a day. Read the following pointers and let your imagination do the rest.

Start with a general idea of where you want your story to take place. Choose a place that you were afraid of as a child and build on that. Make it a place that will be predominant through out the story. It could take place in a town early in the story and develop into returning later. Just remember your childhood fears and make them adult fears.

The character is the next step. It is best to have a few main characters that interact through out the story. Remember there are also a good guy and a bad guy and many others in between. Make your characters come to life by describing them in full detail. Include their hair color, eye color and even what they are wearing if necessary. They point is to make them appear real. If the reader can picture the way they look they will come to life.

Make your scenes come alive. The more suspense you add and the more realistic you make them appear the more suspense the reader will feel. A great suspense is when you think you know who did it and why only to get to the next chapter and find out you were totally wrong.

The ending should be an “oh my” ending. One that will make the reader afraid to sleep with the lights out. The best inspiration can be found in other books. Do not by any means copy someone else works, but if you are stumped on ideas for places for example, read some great works and see how the author brings their town or destination to life. Get a feel for how the characters come to life and develop your own ideas in your imagination.

Often times the words will come to you when you are trying the least. If you have an idea of where you want your story to take place or simply the type of character you want to create, the rest will come. Try to not over think your idea. Your imagination is a powerful tool, let it go and write the words as you think of them. If you have to delete and rewrite, you will still have a general starting point. Suspense fiction books are imaginations coming to life in print. You can imagine your character as horrifying as you want and you can put them in any town, house or site. They are your imagination; let them be whoever you want.

Though legal sports betting is prohibited in the US by Federal law, there has been in recent years a re-examination of its logic on a variety of levels. Part of this is a desire for new revenue sources, while part is simply a growing acceptance of gambling in all forms. Ultimately, the true injustice of banning sports betting lies in its contempt for the Constitution.

The Congress of the United States has shown very little respect for the Constitution in recent years. Were it to abide strictly by the role outlined for it by the founding fathers, the Legislative Branch of our government would have to relinquish any number of its powers in a variety of areas. The primary problem with our Congress is that it has increasingly become a collection of career politicians rather than a body representative of its constituency. Every increase in power at the Federal level must be brought about by a usurpation of state and local sovereignty and, more alarmingly, personal liberty.

The Federal prohibition of sports wagering which was enacted a few years back is of very dubious Constitutionality. Were it not for the grandfather clause, which allowed it to remain legal in jurisdictions in which it already existed, it would have certainly been struck down as unconstitutional on a number of different fronts.

Unfortunately, the mere fact that a proposed law or initiative is unconstitutional offers little protection for the citizenry. In fact, the concept of state sovereignty is one of the most important–and most abused–in the Constitution:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Under the 10th Amendment, unless the power in question has been expressly given to the Federal government by the Constitution, and/or unless it has expressly been prohibited to the states to govern as it sees fit. If an individual state chooses not to regulate a certain activity, it is the right of each individual citizen to make their own decision.

So, here exactly does the Constitution delegate to the Federal government the right to make policy on sports gambling? The answer is that it doesnt, and it is very questionable that they have the Constitutional authority to do so.

The entire premise of a social contract between a government and the governed is that individuals give up a certain degree of personal liberty for a certain degree of protection. The problem is that too many Americans are willing to give up just about any freedom for even the illusory promise of protection. With each additional law intended to protect us from this or that the Federal government becomes larger and more powerful and the rights of the sovereign states”and the individuals that comprise them”are shrinking and being weakened.
