We covered ThrillerFest 2018 just two weeks ago. It was our SEVENTH YEAR IN A ROW covering this annual event from International Thriller Writers and we keep coming back because it is such a great event for authors at all stages in their careers, attracting really talented and kind people. Everyone we meet here is always so kind and generous with their time, advice, and their books!

Each year there is a different Thriller Master. Last year it was Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series (see our interview with him here!) This year it was George R. R. Martin, author of the ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ series that HBO’s Game of Thrones is based on. He spoke on several panels, giving great insight into his career, providing funny anecdotes from book signings (he once had -4 people at a signing before he became famous), and was the guest of honor at the annual banquet, where he was the subject of the musical parody sketch from authors Daniel Palmer and Brad Parks (I look forward to their performance every year). 

Our author interviews this year include international and bestselling authors Jon Land, KJ Howe, Peter James, Brandan Reichs, Sandra Brannan, Alan Jacobson, Adam Hamdy, and Yigal Zur, so stay tuned!

Turk Pipkin’s Book of the Every Other Month Club

Happy New Year! Back in December, we were fortunate enough to get to attend the launch party in NYC for Turk Pipkin’s Book of the Every Other Month Club. Described by him as “possibly my most ambitious project ever,” this project entails six new books all written by him and published within the same year.

According to his website:

Child Actors

I have to admit I have a fascination with child actors. Not sure if it’s because I wanted to be one when I was a kid and my parents wouldn’t let me, or because they have the innocence of youth with the precociousness of professional experience. Either way, it is interesting how driven and self aware they are at such a young age. Below are some recent red carpet interviews we did with the child…

Bye 2016! Welcome 2017!

Hello to our readers and followers! Apologies again for being so quiet, but looking forward to spending 2017 with all of you. If you like, some personal musings below.

It’s almost over, and so I would like to say that 2016 has been a pretty shitty year. A beloved aunt, one who my husband and I annually spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with, passed away in between the two holidays we usually…
