How Many Thriller Writers Does It Take ...?

How many boxes do you need to transport 150 thrillers?

It sounds like a riddle, but it isn’t. It’s what a single winner is going to discover when the folks behind the International Thriller Writers (ITW) randomly draw the winner of their “150 Thrillers” contest next month. The prize haul will include recent works by Joseph Finder, Tess Gerritsen, John Lescroart, Gayle Lynds, and David Baldacci. Three runners-up will receive a copy of the 2006 Thriller anthology, edited by James Patterson.

To enter, you need to sign up for ITW’s free electronic newsletter by February 15. But, like the man said, “everyone who signs up to receive the ITW newsletter is a winner.”

The “150 Thrillers” entry form can be found here.

Check out on amazon.co.uk, the covers for Rob Ryan's Trans Am and Christopher Cook's Robbers!

It even happened to me: the unclad female image on the UK edition of my novel Confessions of a Romantic Pornographer was used the SAME MONTH on another non-crime but erotic book published in the UK, but can't recall the title now.

Also, outside of crime, the image for the cover for Emily Maguire's Taming the Beast (Serpent's Tail in UK) has also seen the day at least 2 other times!
