This year we again will explore in depth the work of 12 suspense/thriller authors. While many of you know suspense/thriller 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. 2005 featured authors include Jodi Compton, author of Sympathy Between Humans (in stores March 1st) and Richard Montanari, author of The Rosary Girls (in stores February 15th).

Previously featured authors included Greg Rucka, author of A Gentleman's Game; Steve Berry, author of The Romanov Prophecy; Perri O' Shaughnessy, author of Unlucky In Law; Tami Hoag, author of Kill the Messenger; Edna Buchanan, author of Cold Case Squad; Rick Riordan, author of Southtown; Clinton McKinzie, author of Crossing the Line; Reed Arvin, author of The Last Goodbye; and Joseph Finder, author of Paranoia.

With our One to Watch: Debut Suspense Thriller promotion, we share with you some new authors who we think are worth watching. All authors featured here will be debut writers in the suspense/thriller genre. We hope that you enjoy reading their work and join with us in later years in saying, "I remember when I read their first book." Just think, you could have one of their first editions as part of your collection.

Mystery lovers know --- there's nothing more fun than solving a mystery. Legends in this genre include Agatha Christie, Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. Well-known authors include Ruth Rendell, P.D. James and Marcia Muller. To help you unravel the endless question of "what mystery authors should I read next?" we bring you our Mystery Mayhem feature. It's a chance to get to know a group of authors who sleuth, track clues, and captivate readers by bringing fictitious characters to justice. We call them "Authors Who Keep You Guessing." We hope you enjoy exploring their work as much as we did tracking them down. Our first featured author of 2005 is Sarah Graves, author of Tool & Die.

One to Watch is our promotion where we look at authors whose books are making news, or making noise, but whose work does not fall in a specific genre like suspense/thriller or mystery. Typically the books here will be fiction, but if we spot a nonfiction title we love, we will be quick to feature it as well. Some of these books will be debuts, but not all. They all will be books we want to scream about and share. Our 2005 featured authors include Elizabeth Flock, author of Me & Emma; Miranda Beverly-Whittemore, author of The Effects of Light and Carter Coleman, author of Cage's Bend.
