NY Center for Independent Publishing
20 West 44th
New York, NY
Three tough guys flex their chops in a literary cage match contest
for most chilling thriller writer. Metaphorical take downs, dangling
participles and adjectives sliced away like so much excess fat — a
veritable blood bath of killer prose.
The New York Center for Independent
Publishing is located at
20 West 44th in the library of the General Society for Mechanics
and Tradesmen (previously called the Small Press Center.)
The event is free. Bring your own bookie for side wagers on
the outcome.
Books will be for sale through the incredible Mobile
Libris.
About the authors:
 SHANE GERICKE’s writing career began in high school, as
a $7.50-a-week sportswriter for the local Frankfort Herald. He
liked it so much he never looked back.
He spent 25 years as a journalist, most prominently as a senior
financial editor at the Chicago Sun-Times, then switched to crime
thrillers. His debut, the national bestseller BLOWN AWAY, was
named Best Debut Mystery of 2006 by Romantic Times Book Reviews,
and appears in five languages. His sequel, CUT TO THE BONE, also
from Kensington Publishing, just launched worldwide. Mr. Gericke
writes for national magazines, is a founding member and charity
auction director of International Thriller Writers Inc., and
is a popular speaker at national conferences and book clubs.

“CUT TO THE BONE is a frightening thrill ride, with beautifully
drawn characters, sharply observed detail, and exceptional writing.
This is a damn fine book.”
– New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston
 When JASON PINTER is not writing his acclaimed Henry Parker
series, he works as a book editor and lives in New York City.
He graduated from Wesleyan University in 2003, is a member of
International Thriller Writers and Mystery Writers of America,
and is a co-founder of Killer Year. His debut novel, THE MARK,
comes out on June 26th from MIRA Books. Visit him at www.JasonPinter.com.
“Read THE MARK and you will be introduced to a terrific
new talent, Jason Pinter, who has written a gripping page-turner
you won’t be able to stop reading.”
— James Patterson
 BILL
CAMERON lives in Portland Oregon with
his wife, son and daughter (who served as the corpse
model for lost dog!) and an ever growing menagerie. He’s a member
of the Killer Year collective and maintains a blog "Thinking
With My Skin." More
information is available on his website www.billcameronmysteries.com.
“Bill Cameron knows his way around the mean streets of
Portland. In the tradition of no good deed should go unpunished,
Lost Dog gives you the perfect fall guy, a flawed protagonist
who makes you hold your breath. Careening between what will he
do next and what will happen to him next, this tasty piece of
character-driven noir keeps you guessing from beginning to end.
If you like them real with no pulled punches, the beautifully
written Lost Dog is for you.”
