THE MOST CHILLING THRILLER WRITER:
CHICAGO NEWSHOUND
NEW YORK EDITOR
OREGON ARTIST
Three tough guys flex their chops in a literary cage match to determine the Most Chilling Thriller Writer. Metaphorical take downs, dangling participles and adjectives sliced away like so much excess fat —a veritable blood bath of killer prose. The tough guys are:
Chicago newshound, Shane Gericke , BLOWN AWAY and CUT TO THE BONE (Kensington)
New York editor, Jason Pinter, THE MARK (Mira books)
Oregon artist, Bill Cameron, lost dog (Midnight Ink)
WEDNESDAY, July 11, 6:30pm, NY Center for Independent Publishing, located at 20 West 44th in the library of the General Society for Mechanics and Tradesmen (NYCIP was previously called the Small Press Center.)
The event is free. (Bring your own bookie for side wagers on the outcome.)
Books will be for sale through the incredible Mobile Libris.

About the authors:
SHANE GERICKE’s writing career began in high school, as a $7.50-a-week sportswriter for the local Frankfort Herald. He liked it so much he never looked back.
He spent 25 years as a journalist, most prominently as a senior financial editor at the Chicago Sun-Times, then switched to crime thrillers. His debut, the national bestseller BLOWN AWAY, was named Best Debut Mystery of 2006 by Romantic Times Book Reviews, and appears in five languages. His sequel, CUT TO THE BONE, also from Kensington Publishing, just launched worldwide. Mr. Gericke writes for national magazines, is a founding member and charity auction director of International Thriller Writers Inc., and is a popular speaker at national conferences and book clubs.

“Cut to the Bone is a frightening thrill ride, with beautifully drawn characters, sharply observed detail, and exceptional writing. This is a damn fine book.”
--New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston
When JASON PINTER is not writing his acclaimed Henry Parker series, he works as a book editor and lives in New York City. He graduated from Wesleyan University in 2003, is a member of International Thriller Writers and Mystery Writers of America, and is a co-founder of Killer Year. His debut novel, THE MARK, comes out on June 26th from MIRA Books. Visit him at www.JasonPinter.com.
“Read THE MARK and you will be introduced to a terrific new talent, Jason Pinter, who has written a gripping page-turner you won’t be able to stop reading.”
--James Patterson
BILL CAMERON lives in Portland Oregon with his wife, son and daughter (who served as the corpse model for lost dog!) and an ever growing menagerie. He’s a member of the Killer Year collective. More information about Mr. Cameron is available on his website www.billcameronmysteries.com and his blog “Thinking With My Skin.”
“Bill Cameron knows his way around the mean streets of Portland. In the tradition of no good deed should go unpunished, Lost Dog gives you the perfect fall guy, a flawed protagonist who makes you hold your breath. Careening between what will he do next and what will happen to him next, this tasty piece of character-driven noir keeps you guessing from beginning to end. If you like them real with no pulled punches, the beautifully written Lost Dog is for you.”
--Robert Fate, author, Baby Shark

I found your link on Kristin Nelson's blog....
Congratulations on "Marching Up!" Sounds like an awesome book.
About this posting--wish I could attend an event like this!
Cheers,
This place looks good lite blue.
I hope you find a winner.
Now THAT sounds like fun. And drinks at The Round Table across the street afterward to round out the literary evening. In keeping with the wrestling theme, we'd have to drink "Albama Slammers."
