What Makes A Thriller?

Several of you have written to ask what makes a thriller. Some of you are students working on a college paper, while others are writers looking for clarification of the various genres associated with mysteries and thrillers.

If you'd like more information on what separates mainstream fiction from thrillers and mysteries click on this link for our new "What Makes A Thriller?" page.

 

 

Dear Reader,

We all know the feeling.  

You’ve worked hard all day. Dinner is over, the dishes are done and you finally have some quiet time to spend by yourself. Without even looking at the TV, you know there is nothing good to find there.

What you really want is a good book.

Something uncommonly entertaining, a story that will take you beyond your city, outside of your job, into an exciting world you only dream about.

Better yet, you want a story with thrills and chills and daring escapades.  You want a thriller.  A book where the hero is up against the worst bad guy you can imagine.

We at Thriller Press want the same thing.

So we’ve started a small publishing company that specializes in mysteries and thrillers with compelling characters and plots with lots of action.

Our goal is to search out well-written novels and bring them to you. We will produce them in first class style in trade-sized softcover, and make them available to you through your favorite venue.

Please order them through your local independent bookstore. They can find them at Ingram or Baker & Taylor, the country's largest wholesalers.  Our mysteries and thrillers are also listed in Books In Print. Or, if you’re not near a bookstore and prefer to buy online, you will find our books at the major online bookstores, Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and Borders.com.

What's in an Owen McKenna Mystery Thriller?

TAHOE DEATHFALL 
A teenaged girl hires Lake Tahoe Detective Owen McKenna to  hunt for the ruthless murderer of her twin sister who was killed when they were six-years-old. 

When McKenna and his Great Dane Spot investigate,  multiple deaths from the past are revealed and his client becomes the next intended victim.  

Fast action sequences, dog heroics and an unexpected role for a famous painting by Edward Hopper  make TAHOE DEATHFALL a captivating mystery thriller.

 

Borg's second novel in the Owen McKenna Series is Tahoe Blowup, a thriller about forest fires

Detective McKenna returns for a  second engagement in TAHOE BLOWUP, a riveting thriller about a murderous arsonist who is lighting deadly forest fires in the Tahoe Basin.  

When the killer kidnaps McKenna's girlfriend and plans to burn her in a giant fire called a "Blowup," it looks like  McKenna and his dog Spot will need a miracle to save her from the monster fire.

Like the first McKenna thriller, TAHOE BLOWUP is heavy on the action, features another famous painting and a dog that will win readers' hearts.

Borg's 3rd Owen McKenna novel is Tahoe Ice Grave

Mark Twain spent time in both Tahoe and Hawaii. What if a Twain short story were in the possession of a family with ties to both Tahoe and Kauai? And what if a killer would do anything to get his hands on it?

That is the premise of Borg's TAHOE ICE GRAVE, a story that takes Detective McKenna and his sweetheart Street to Hawaii and back in rushed effort to stop the killing and solve the mystery of a legend about a cave made of ice and a grave that goes to the center of the earth.

As always, Spot plays a critical role and there is a young boy who will steal your heart.
