The August Edition of the Big Thrill
In this issue of The Big Thrill, authors share how they rise to the challenge of not only meeting, but exceeding reader expectations–Karin Slaughter explores a new method of writing in her latest Will Trent novel, David Baldacci surprises fans with a new book and a new character set in a new era, Steve Berry and M. J. Rose return to their storytelling roots, and Sandra Brown delivers a more complex—-but very much on-brand—-romantic suspense. April Snellings gets the scoop on Rob Hart’s buzz-worthy book and movie deal in Tales from the Script, Alex Segura ends his series on a high note, and Hank Phillippi Ryan shares insight into one of this summer’s most-anticipated reads. All this, plus interviews with more than 20 authors of hot new releases.
