Instead, relax with talk of murder, mayhem and terror with the likes of Janet Evanovich, Brad Thor, Lisa Scottoline, Gregg Hurwitz, John Connolly, Kyle Mills, Kathy Reichs, Karin Slaughter, Jennifer Hillier, R.L. Stine, William Kent Krueger and Alafair Burke.
David Brown, Deputy Director of Publicity at Atria Books and “driver” of the @AtriaMysteryBus Twitter feed, has teamed up with the Executive Director of ITW and ThrillerFest, Kimberley Howe, and influential book blogger Ryan “The Real Book Spy” Steck to create Night of a Thousand Authors, election day counterprogramming for mystery, thriller and suspense fans to escape from the stress and anxiety of that day.
Beginning at 3:00 pm ET on Tuesday, November 3, and streaming from the ThrillerTalk YouTube channel and the International Thriller Writers Facebook page, Night of a Thousand Authors is being described as “The Jerry Lewis Telethon” meets “Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve” with the biggest names in crime fiction and NO TALK OF POLITICS.
The event will feature a whirlwind marathon of 10-minute interviews hosted by Howe and Steck; the “special sauce” is that each author will share the first two minutes of their interview on the screen with the previous guest and the last two minutes of their interview with the next guest.
“How often do you get to see this many big-name authors in one place over a short period of time?” Howe asked, “The magnitude of star power makes this program unique.”
“This is going to be wild!” Steck said, “Wall to wall and back to back, rapid-fire interviews complete with potential odd pairings overlapping and doing it live? It can only go right!”
We’ll just have to tune in to see how they manage to pull it off!
