The Big Apple once again becomes the backdrop for the thrills, chills, murder and mayhem. The International Thriller Writers’ (ITW) ThrillerFest, the biggest event of the year for fiction’s most popular genre, returns July 11-14, 2012 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City. This year’s ThrillerMaster is Jack Higgins and special guests include Lee Child, Catherine Coulter, and John Sandford. Returning this year is the dynamic duo of CraftFest and AgentFest. Under the guidance of some of the most acclaimed thriller writers, such as Steve Berry, and Grant Blackwood, Allison Brennan, Heather Graham, Melodie Johnson Howe, Kathleen Antrim, Jon Land, Lisa Gardner, Michael Palmer, Peter James, Donald Maass and more, authors will sharpen their skills for AgentFest the next day. To cap off an adrenaline-filled week, ThrillerFest culminates with the 2012 ITW Thriller Awards Banquet, during which Richard North Patterson will be awarded the acclaimed Silver Bullet Award. Legendary Ann Rule, author of the definitive true-crime account The Stranger Beside Me, is this year’s beneficiary of The True Thrill Award. R.L. Stine, the 2011 ThrillerMaster recipient and creator of Goosebumps, and Karin Slaughter, international bestseller and winner of the Silver Bullet, will also return for the 2012 festivities.

Thank you Paul. I just thought of sending it to you last night. I am going to do my best to…Read More videotape it today. I will send it to you as soon as possible. Thanks for your assistance. Renee

Great to see IMTI leading the way into the solar future! I went to that school specifically to…Read More become a solar electrician. It was before they had a solar program, at the time it was the E-2 electrical course. I see America has a chance to build prosperity again if we will be forward-looking about our manufacturing and energy strategies. My company, Made In USA Solar LLC, aims to contribute to that in a small way, doing what we can by only installing materials made in USA. Congrats to IMTI on their ambitious solar plans!

Archie, Your wrong. Constitutions were written for a reason not to determine whether it's a living…Read More document or not. Politicians and or Anti-Americans only believe that the constitutions are a dead document. They are excuses to put forth an agenda. Without Constitutions this country would be chaos and we wouldn't have the freedoms we have today. Only in your eye's does the words not apply because you think government can prevent and do anything they want. It's the people that rule, NOT THE POLITICIANS!

That is looking at the Constitution as a dead piece of paper instead of a living document. Living…Read More Constitutions read as if they were written yesterday not over 250 years ago. Is the Constitution living or dead. When common sense and ordinary circumstances show that the words of the Constitution no longer apply then the document is dead. That is what occurs when weapons/arms have become so powerful and dangerous that having them available in the numbers you have in this country is tantamount to ultimate murder and chaos. This is definitely not what the Framers had in mind as shown by the words prefacing the 2nd amendment referring to a militia.
