This year we will explore in depth the work of 12 suspense/thriller authors. While many of you know authors like John Grisham, James Patterson and David Baldacci, the goal is to take readers behind the work of authors who are still not household names, but should be. We'll explore their new books --- and their past ones, known in the industry as the backlist. By the end of the year the goal is that you will have met 12 new authors, read 12 new books --- and had the opportunity to learn about dozens more.

A Charles Willeford-Sensation:
Grimhaven exists!

About Charles Willeford
Books by Charles Willeford
Critical Praise
Fast Facts
A great trove of archived material, including 30 years of correspondence, and his unpublished novel, Grimhaven, and a notebook memoir he'd left behind, has been found at April 1 in Miami, Florida. Some Scientists thought, there was material at the University of Miami. But did you imagine that all of this material really exists?
The manuscript is called Grimhaven, which Willeford had originally intended as the follow-up to Miami Blues. Without going into too great a detail, it is to say that it's a very, very dark story - too dark for Willeford's agent, who believed that submitting Grimhaven to his publisher would have been like killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Since this time, this dark story has been missed.
