Join The Big Thrill team as we end this very hot month with sizzling summer reads. K.L. Romo sat down with New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz where they discussed good vs. evil, Golden Retrievers, and changing your perspective. Romo joined New York Times bestseller, Carol Goodman, as they chatted about THE BONES OF THE STORY, college experiences, and the slippery slope of competition, and M.W. Craven to talk about his own unique background, and how his writing career came to be. Terri Nolan spoke with Matt Coyle, one of the three editors for CRIME UNDER THE SUN: A Sisters in Crime Anthology as we celebrate California Dreaming…or SoCal Nightmares.
