Hi all,
I am finished my book, editing now, and looking at the final scene, the action scene. The MC and her partner are near a stoop (the steps that lead to a front door, for those who don't live in a city!) and they have the block cleared as they wait for the killer to come down the street. She shows up, is tailed by one of the other cops pushing a stroller with a fake baby in it, and then...the action really starts. But I am not sure where to put killer and hostage, and how to keep the killer from being taken out by SWAT guys on the roof across the street?
Any ideas, greatly appreciated. I have gone and reread and watched some of my favorite actions scenes, but not sure how to keep it clear and moving along in a novel.
Thanks,
Nancy
