award-winning author of While Galileo Preys
So:
This past week, I was in New York City for one of my favorite events of the year, ThrillerFest. For those of you who don’t know what ThrillerFest is, take a gander here. For those of you who are like me and therefore too lazy to click on a link, I will explain:
Today was a good day.
Breakfast consisted of decaf coffee. While drinking, I ran into my friend Sophie Littlefield, who was about to host a panel on relationships in suspense fiction and the panelists were none other than JT Ellison and Erica Spindler. The panel was mainly for aspiring writers, but I snuck it anyway. The panel went quite well and provided a wealth of information for everyone. My personal highlight came near the end when a member of the audience asked about maintaining tension in a novel and JT singled me out as a writer who was able to sustain tension effectively over a long period of time. What a nice thing to say.
