Thrillerfest is the year conference for the International Thriller Writers Association. It takes place every year in New York City. I attended last year for the first time as a Debut Author with my book The Saffron Crocus, and I was one of nearly two dozen  honored at the Debut Author breakfast, presided over by Steve Berry. This year I attended the breakfast for Debut Authors Kim Alexander, Flynn Berry, Matthew Betley, J.L. Delozier, Lisa Hall, Elena Hartwell, L.S. Hawker, Cheryl Hollon, Karen Katchur, Mark Leggatt, Nina Mansfield, Nadine Nettmann, Michael Ransom, Robert Rapoza, Brendan Rielly, Emily Ross, Nina Sadowsky, Janelle Samara, Amy Stuart, Radha Vatsal and Tim Washburn. In my capacity as organizer of the Fearless Bloggers for ITW (a blog tour for Debut Authors managed by volunteers) I’ve gotten to know some of these fine authors. Keep reading and you will get to know them too.

LOS ANGELES_ The 2016 Los Angeles Book Festival has named a supernatural thriller written for young adults as the grand prize winner of its annual competition honoring the best of world publishing.

My first year at Thrillerfest (conference organized by the International Thriller Writers Association) was also the year I went through the Debut Author Program organized by ITW. Thrillerfest is an amazing conference, and it is even more amazing if you are lucky enough to go as a Debut Author.
