For those of you who attended ThrillerFest, if you have any comments on the programming that you'd like to share -- positive, negative, whatever -- or any suggestions for next year, please feel free to contact me. I welcome your feedback.
I'm not doing the programming for 2007, but I can share suggestions with those who are.
Also, since I'm posting, let me extend a hearty congratulations to the winners of the first annual Thriller Awards:
Best Novel - THE PATRIOT'S CLUB by Christopher Reich (Delacorte Press)
Best First Novel - IMPROBABLE by Adam Fawer (William Morrow)
Best Paperback Original - PRIDE RUNS DEEP by R. Cameron Cooke (Jove)
Best Screenplay - CACHE (Hidden), screenplay by Michael Haneke
Also, the first ThrillerMaster Award went to Clive Cussler.
I was one of the judges for the Best First Novel award, and I found it to be a very rewarding experience. Improbable is a terrific debut novel and I look forward to reading more from Fawer in the future.
