Who is that woman, and why is she smiling?

[Karen Dionne]

That would be me! And I'm smiling because I'm the new Managing Editor of the International Thriller Writers' webzine and newsletter THE BIG THRILL. Very happy to be in a position to give back to an organization that's done so much for me.

If you've never been to the website, be sure to check it out. And if you love thrillers, sign up for the newsletter - each month, subscribers are automatically entered in a drawing to win great new books.

I definitely gave serious thought to the workload before I said yes! So far, so good . . .

Well, enjoy. I rather suspect they'll lay a ton of work on you. :) Your enthusiasm should carry you though.

Thanks, IJ! Clearly, I'm a sucker for a fancy title. :)

Congrats! Good choice!
