4-book-aug.jpgIt may be the Dog Days of Summer outside, but inside the heat is being generated by our sizzling list of Big Thrill August releases. The real heat is burning up the pages of the latest thrillers from Lisa Jackson, Kathy Reichs, Eric Van Lustbader, Jeffery Deaver, and Sandra Brown along with newcomer debut authors Megan Kelley Hall, Sibylle Barrasso, and so many more.

So don't let the sweltering summer heat slow you down. Grab our list of August hits and head for your local bookstore. The Dog Days of Summer just got eclipsed by our hot August thrillers. Happy reading from your friends at the International Thriller Writers.

ThrillerFest

ITW's annual celebration of the thriller world is the largest event of its kind, a meeting place for authors, readers, budding writers, and publishing industry professionals.

For 2009, we're in the heart of New York in July, with two special add-on events, CraftFest and AgentFest, where authors of all levels can meet the professionals.
