As you may know, Gayle is cofounder and copresident with David Morrell of International Thriller Writers, Inc. Last December, she wondered why there had never been an anthology of pure thriller short stories. The result is this remarkable collection, edited by James Patterson and spearheaded by Steve Berry.
In it you'll find terrific stories that will tingle your spine, make you laugh, make you cry, and give you hours of delicious reading pleasure.
As Publishers Weekly says, "Patterson, in his introduction, talks about the 'intensity of emotions' that thrillers share — as well as 'the force with which they hurtle the reader along' This description fits such fine efforts as Gayle Lynds's 'The Hunt for Dmitri,' which takes the heroine of THE COIL, Liz Sansborough, into an adventure involving her father, the infamous CIA assassin known as the Carnivore.... "
"Would-be thriller writers can learn a lot about research and technique from Patterson's introductions to each story. Many of the contributors will be attending the first International Thriller Writers convention in Phoenix in June."
The authors included in THRILLER are: Ted Bell, Steve Berry, Grant Blackwood, Lee Child, Lincoln Child, David Dun, Heather Graham, Heather Graham, James Grippando, Denise Hamilton, Gregg Hurwitz, Alex Kava, J.A. Konrath, John Lescroart, James Liparulo, David Liss, Eric Van Lustbader, Dennis Lynds, Gayle Lynds, Chris Mooney, David Morrell, Katherine Neville, Michael Palmer, Douglas Preston, Christopher Reich, Christopher Rice, James Rollins, M.J. Rose, James Siegel, Brad Thor, M. Diane Vogt, and F. Paul Wilson.
