David Brown, Deputy Director of Publicity at Atria Books has teamed up with the Executive Director of ITW and ThrillerFest, Kimberley Howe and influential book blogger Ryan “The Real Book Spy” Steck to create NIGHT OF A THOUSAND AUTHORS, election day counterprogramming for mystery, thriller and suspense fans to escape from the stress and anxiety of that day.

 Beginning at 3pm ET on Tuesday November 3  NIGHT OF A THOUSAND AUTHORS is being described as “The Jerry Lewis Telethon” meets “Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve” with the biggest names in crime fiction and NO TALK OF POLITICS.

Among the confirmed guests are Janet Evanovich, Brad Thor, Lisa Scottoline, Gregg Hurwitz, Brad Meltzer, Ruth Ware, John Connolly, Kyle Mills, Kathy Reichs, Karin Slaughter, Jennifer Hillier, R.L. Stine, William Kent Krueger and Alafair Burke with many more committed and still to come. 

NIGHT OF A THOUSAND AUTHORS is a marathon of 10 minutes interviews hosted by Howe and Steck—the “special sauce” is that each author will share the first two minutes of their interview on the screen with the previous guest and the last two minutes of their interview with the next guest.
