The Thrill Has Come

Unfortunately Mike Stotter and I can’t make the trip to NY to celebrate with David Morrell on his winning this years THRILLERMASTER Award; but we’re passing our congratulations to David and all the nominated ITW writers.

As one of the ITW reserve judges, I guess you can see that we have a very strong shortlist[s]
