Are you a Serial Killer of Books?

Do you knock them off one after the other without conscience, ripping through each page of your addiction? Can you picture yourself stalking your favorite thriller author, lurking and listening to every word they say about how they create the books that keep you up nights? Then I have a deal for you—a target rich environment to make you salivate.

The biggest event in the thriller genre is coming! The International Thriller Writers organization is hosting Thrillerfest—a four-day annual celebration of the fiction world's most popular genre, attended by some of the biggest names in the business. Thursday July 12th through Sunday July 15th at the Grand Hyatt, Manhattan.

This ITW event is open to all: authors, would-be writers and most of all, the reading public. If you love thrillers, you won’t want to miss it! You can find more at ITW’s special mini-site dedicated to everything Thrillerfest, from hotels, dates and panel requirements, and book directly online too:


Along with last year's ThrillerMaster Award Winner Clive Cussler, authors Jeffery Deaver, Heather Graham, Vince Flynn, and Lisa Gardner will be our Spotlight Guests. In recognition of his legendary career, the great James Patterson will receive the ThrillerMaster 2007 Award. And there's much, much more!

Also don't miss CraftFest—ITW's day of school for thriller writers taught by a spectacular collection of top names in the field. David Morrell, James Rollins, Lee Child, Tess Gerritsen and many, many others. Check out the stellar lineup.

And lunch with agents and editors. CraftFest isn't just for beginning writers. It's for everyone interested in learning the writing tips of authors who are at the peak of their craft, and picking up marketing knowledge from experts.

I'm not a serial killer, but I love reading about them. Maybe I'm a serial stalker...of serial killer writers? Either way, consider yourself warned!

I'm thrilled to be going to ThrillerFest. It was such an amazing event last year that I was pretty much overwhelmed. Now that I'm an experienced ThrillerFestee, I should be able to enjoy it without my head spinning around every time one of my favorite authors walks by...look, there's Lee Child! Joe Finder! Tess Gerritsen! Bob Levinson! R.L. Stine! Paul Levine! Will Staeger! Brad Meltzer! Sandra Brown! Doug Preston! Heather Graham! Jim Rollins! Mark Gimenez! Michelle Martinez! M.J. Rose! David Morrell! Gayle Lynds! John Lescroart! Michael Palmer!

Who's that? A new guy? Will I love his book and be sorry I didn't stop to chat? OY!

Oh, who am I kidding. I am just as excited as I was last year, maybe more so, because I know how fabulous this is going to be! See you there...

This is an AMAZING event. So glad you will be there and are an experienced attendee. I think I'm going to have to concede that I will be a blithering idiot the entire time, I'm such a fan of all these authors.
