Hello, I wonder if you ATers would like to chip in with ideas?
I'm an aspiring novelist and I have this idea of writing a mystery thriller where every chapter is themed according to a Major Arcana Card. Starts with the Fool, continues to the Magician and so on all the way to the World.
Now, I need ideas what the mystery could be. I'm thinking there's a tragedy that seemingly looks straightforward, such as a terrorist strike, but when it's investigated, something much more complicated, entangled and mysterious is revealed. Tarot cards will play a role in resolving the matter - I'm thinking of introducing them as a false lead first (say, a journo interviews a tarot reader, gets the reading, thinks its wrong, but at the very last page realises it was correct all along).
Would you be keen to exercise your brain to come up with ideas for the mystery, conspiracy etc.? Any other suggestions and ideas about a tarot-themed novel are welcome!
