Prolific duo Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson dish on the first book in a new series, April Snellings goes “dark” with horror author Catriona Ward, and Tori Eldridge shares what’s next for her Chinese-Norwegian ninja. In this month’s Africa Scene, Michael Sears chats with Femi Kayode, Neil Nyren gets the scoop on Amanda Jayatissa’s highly anticipated thriller MY SWEET GIRL, and we get Up Close with Hank Phillippi Ryan, Megan Collins, Matthew Fitzsimmons, and more than 25 writers of thriller, mystery, and suspense.
