Top Ten Reasons to Go to Thrillerfest

ThrillerFest is only 3 months away -- are you excited yet? Dave White has shared his "Top Ten Reasons to Go to ThrillerFest" and asked others to do the same. So here goes.

1. Have a chance to buy me a drink. Who knows, maybe I'll review your next book.

2. Touch Barry Eisler's hair. He really doesn't mind if you run your fingers through it. It's quite silky.

3. Ask M.J. Rose if she's really tried out all those kinky sex things she writes about in her books. (Hint: the answer is yes.)

4. Steal ARCs. Many authors in attendance will have ARCs of their new books with them. Those same authors can frequently be found in the bar, three sheets to the wind. You do the math.

5. Meet James Patterson. I hear he's looking for another co-writer. Maybe it could be you!

6. Ask Lee Child how his last-place Yankees are doing. Oh, that's right. They're in last place.

7. See New York, one of the world's finest cities. Admittedly, I won't leave the hotel the entire time...but you could.

8. Follow agents into the bathroom and pitch them your manuscript. I've heard this is how most writers got an agent, so it should work for you, too.

9. Ask Jim Born if you can touch his gun. He'll know what you mean.

10. Did I mention you could buy me a drink?

I hope to see many of you there!
