Tom Threadgill writes “Smart Suspense” inspired by what if questions. The idea for his latest novel, Collision of Lies, happened when he observed a woman at a restaurant staring at her phone. “What if,” Tom wondered, “she got a phone call from someone she didn’t expect?” That question led to another. “What if she got a text from her son . . . and he was dead?”
In addition to writing police procedurals, Tom sits on the thriller/suspense publishing board for Lighthouse of the Carolinas. We talk about current trends in the thriller/suspense market, including the move toward publishing books for what’s typically known as the “clean” market–engaging, compelling stories without offensive language, excessive gore and violence, and gratuitous sex.
Sara Davison has won multiple awards for her romantic suspense novels. She has also been a finalist for the prestigious American Christian Fiction Writers Carol Award and for the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence (twice!). She lives in Ontario and is a Mosaic Collection author.
Sara shares how she decided at a very young age that she wanted to write books and how God gave her a story one Easter Sunday. She wrote that story then learned what she didn’t know she didn’t know as she edited it and polished it.
