Keeping Readers Reading

I found a blog post some time ago where several successful authors spoke on how to keep our readers reading.

This is from Libby Fischer Hellmann:  Suspense depends on presenting obstacles and complications for your characters. And when you couple those obstacles to a deadline, you have instant suspense. Will he rescue the girl in time? Will the bad guy get away? Can he defuse the bomb before it blows? Those are classic examples of suspense.
