	No mystery about these authors' goals - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Books - A&E
		Thriller writers across the country have formed a national organization to burnish their image, honor excellence in suspense writing, and create new ways for readers to discover their books.
		''In a thriller, it's the process and how it affects the characters that are emphasized." In ''Company Man," Finder departs from the usual fare of bad-guy CEO and makes his executive protagonist a sympathetic, decent man, the object of death threats, and the target of a conspiracy involving his colleagues.
		Thrillers are among the more lucrative genres and take up a large section of bestseller lists, Lynds says, but awards for such works have been seriously lacking.

		THRILLER, an anthology of short fiction --- where all contributions are from members of the International Thriller Writers Organization --- is, if you will, a literary annual report, a statement of where the thriller genre is at the present time and where it is going.
		Stalwart authors such as David Morrell, Gayle Lynds and Eric Van Lustbader are featured; a long out-of-print, posthumous contribution from dearly-missed Dennis Lynds is included, as is "Man Catch," an unsettling tale of jealousy, betrayal and revenge from Christopher Rice.
		Thriller: Stories To Keep You Up All Night was an entertaining collection of short stories (say, averaging 10 minutes to read) with the focus being on "thrills." This included murder so foul, espionage, and creepy people, among other topics.

		To avoid this scenario, first, identify the genre you are writing in — mystery, romance, action-adventure, fantasy, legal thriller, medical thriller, sci-fi thriller, etc. Second, read all the novels in print in that genre and write down the story concept in each.

	The Shot Book at Shop Ireland
		Having never heard of the author or the book before, I decided to give it a go, not one for read alot of books, but this was brilliant!
		This one is set in 1960, mainly in Havana, Miami, New York, with side trips to Vegas and Chicago and takes place over the course of the Nixon/Kennedy election and the buildup to JFK's inauguration.
		Not only is there no one to care about, there's scant characterization to begin with-the male characters all have the same tired tough-guy patter, and the women are exclusively characterized as sex objects (and not surprisingly, banal ones at that).

		Kudos for the "you must have at least 50 books cataloged" restriction -- hopefully that will mean there aren't any more cases of authors using LT solely to push their own works, as appears to be the case for one of the existing "LTAuthors" with only seven books in his catalog.

		Although legal thrillers aren't my usual interest, I did enjoy the movie/celebrity aspects of this mystery.
		I have read everything written by several other authors in the suspense/thriller category: David Baldacci, John Grisham, Sandra Brown, Patricia Cornwell, Tess Gerritsen, Robin Cook, Michael Palmer, Scott Turow, etc., and am still working on the backlist for a few of them like James Patterson.
		A recent new author for me was Ian Rankin (RESURRECTION MEN) who is extremely well known in Britain for his Inspector Rebus books, which have not been as popular here in the United States.
