The October Edition of THE BIG THRILL is Here!

The October issue brings you in-depth interviews with authors who’ve created amazing careers, from our cover subject Alex Kava to Jon Land, Charlaine Harris, Robert Dugoni, and Allen Eskens. In this month’s “Get It Right,” Bryan E. Robinson explains what thrillers get right—and wrong—about psychotherapy. Dawn Ius finds out why Jack the Ripper is slashing his way onto fiction lists again in “Trend Report.” And in “African Scene,” Annamaria Alfieri takes us to Mombasa.

This month marks the debut of an exciting partnership with The Thrill Begins: the Debut Author Spotlight interview. We kick it off with a great chat between Alex Dolan and Nina Mansfield!

Other first rate-interviews: R.G. Belsky, Barbara Nickless, Cat Winters, Felix Francis, Anita Nair, and 20 more…
