Read the stories that were in the September edition of The Big Thrill.

Successful thriller writers stay ahead by changing up characters and location, and in the September issue Nelson DeMille reveals his strategy for his new book. You’ll hear from other powerhouse novelists like Sue Grafton, Jeff Abbott, J. T. Ellison, Kyle Mills, Mark Pryor, Debra Webb, and Diane Capri.

In “Trend Report,” Dawn Ius reports on the rise of the woman action hero in both films and fiction, not without controversy it seems. We’ve got a great “Debut Spotlight” conversation with David McCaleb chatting with J. J. Hensley. And in “Africa Scene,” Michael Sears talks to Kwei Quartey of Ghana.

Other don’t-miss authors in this issue: Amy Rogers, Brad Abraham, Peter Tonkin, and more.

September 4 – 10: “Describe some of the best symbolism employed in thrillers in recent years.”
September 11 – 17: “People who don’t have jobs can become quite desperate and disheartened. Describe fiction’s regard and disregard for the long-term unemployed.”
September 18 – 24: “Russia still plays a key role in thrillers. What are some other countries that might take center stage in the future?”
September 25 – October 1: “Comedy and Humor in the thriller genre: Is it difficult to write comedy or humor into thriller novels? Is it necessary, desired, or just a tool to release the tension in some needed spots?”
