There are so many ways to unfold a mystery. I just sat down and asked myself how would I secretly pass on a hidden message. Ideas started flowing when I wore a pair of my M.C.'s shoes. Best of luck with your novel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501918398545296619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-38937369212340183982011-05-18T04:52:43.695+01:002011-05-18T04:52:43.695+01:00Low tech all the way!

It's fairly intricate and several books are used but it's effective and impossible to trace as I understand it. I also love cryptograms and I'm quite good at them so that would also be attractive.Danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043881305977386629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-21827997073956174142011-05-17T08:47:59.409+01:002011-05-17T08:47:59.409+01:00Hi Karen

I figured that if there was a significant level of surveillance any kind of electronic messaging would be easy to intercept. I've been looking for a low tech solution. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-4380307276536517712011-05-17T05:07:37.893+01:002011-05-17T05:07:37.893+01:00Chat rooms?

The back of a postcard?<br /><br />Today, with all the caaller/messenger ID, it seems almost impossible to send a msg.<br /><br />You have to know the sender/receiver pretty well to get away with anything subtle or secret. Takes some real creativity.<br /><br />........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-49987686459644037822011-05-16T17:02:26.696+01:002011-05-16T17:02:26.696+01:00There's a secret message in my story.
