For the September issue I got the interview two authors whom I met, even shared drinks with, during the last in person ThrillerFest back in 2019.
After I started working on the assignment, I was pleasantly surprised to discover it would be a cover story.
Excited to read a book before its release, thrilled to read the start of a new series, and wowed by the the actual story.
Here's the interview with Brian Andrews and Jeff Wilson:

Fresh off the success of last year’s Blacktop Wasteland, S.A. Cosby delivers another powerful thriller with Razorblade Tears. Ike Randolph is a Black man with a past, but he left prison over a decade ago, reformed his life, and started a successful business. Still, he hasn’t come to grips with his son Isiah’s homosexuality.
You can read the full review of RAZORBLADE TEARS BY S.A. Cosby at the Washington Independent Review of Books.
I interviewed Jeff Abbott about his new book, AN AMBUSH OF WIDOWS for the July edition of The Big Thrill
Jeff Abbott’s new novel, the devilishly titled AN AMBUSH OF WIDOWS, is about two women with nothing in common except a tragedy.
An “ambush” is the collective noun for a group of widows, and Abbott finds it interesting it’s the same noun for tigers and widows.
“Make of that what you will,” he says. “I like to think both could be dangerous if provoked. I didn’t know about the noun until I was wondering what you called a group of widows and as soon as I saw ‘ambush’ I wanted it to be the title. Of course some people think it’s about an ambush committed against widows, when these widows are more likely to do the actual ambushing.”
