Thriller writers of various styles converged on the Grand Hyatt in NYC.  I had the opportunity to spend some time at the four day event and the experience was well worth it.

Day 1

Craftfest started Thursday's activities.  Famous authors imparted their wisdom on topics ranging from character development to how to create nail-biting suspense.  Everyone from aspiring authors to published writers attended.

An introduction by Diane Voigt

Lincooln Child

Gayle Lynds

An informal lunch was an excellent chance to meet writers, agents, and make a few friends.   (sorry no pics)

The day progressed with more discussions, booksignings and an interview of Lisa Gardner by Tess Gerritsen

Day 2

The second day of Thrillerfest offered panels and activities for fans and aspiring writers.

Between coffee and pastries brunch featured introductions from debut authors.  Lunch was up to you.

After lunch, we stopped to take a pic.
