01/15/24 • 71 min
Yes, although this is THE BRAND NEW SEASON SIX, kicking off 2024, we are offering this BOUCHERCON REPLAY which was recorded at The Bouchercon Convention in San Diego last summer.
Some are legends, while others are legends in the making. Either way, six of the authors in the Atria Mystery Bus/Simon & Schuster family, have come together for brief conversations, face-to-face, with me to talk about their latest works at the Bouchercon 23 event in San Diego, California.
Please welcome my guests: @JackCarrUSA - @ChrisHauty - @isberryauthor - @ArmandoCorrea - @heykatyhays & @CEMcKenzie1, along with Special Thanks to David Brown @AtriaMysteryBus (all X/Twitter handles).
Their books are stunning. Their talents, equally so. And their futures are set to shoot across the sky, bright at the noonday sun.
Kick back, grab a beverage, and enjoy THIS REPLAY of BOUCHERCON 23 from last Summer, as you enjoy some conversation about books, thrillers and more, on an episode that will entertain, educate, and hopefully inspire you to write your best work.

Terrence McCauley
On today’s episode 165th episode of The Thriller Zone I’m happy to introduce you to a long-time fan and friend of our show, Mr. Terrence McCauley. He kicks off SEASON SIX with a discussion about his latest thriller CHICAGO 63, a fictional account of a plot to assassinate President Kennedy.
As a bit of history, Terrence is an award-winning novelist, a member of various writer associations, and on today's show discusses his writing career plus shares his journey of writing in multiple genres, including thrillers, crime fiction, and Westerns.
Other topics Terrence and I cover include: the importance of decorum and class in society, we discuss the cover design of 'Chicago 63' and the artist behind it, plus Terrence offers advice for aspiring writers, and near the end, introduces us to Silverback Publishing, a company focused on publishing novellas.
As you’ll see, Terrence is an engaging guest, a prolific writer in not one, but three genres, he’s also a podcast host, and just an all-around nice guy. Let’s get to the launch of Season Six, and my friend Terrence McCauley right here on The Thriller Zone.
