Hi Writers,
It's my final day at ThrillerFest and the thrills just
keep coming. Today I did video interviews with Lee Child, Sandra Brown,
David Baldacci among others. Those videos will be available on our
website in a few weeks, I'll let you know when they're up.

More to come!
Keep Writing,
Maria
