Sergio Fanucci, editore"Abisso" di Dean KoontzFanucci Editorewww.fanucci.itE se l'incidente che le ha portato via suo figlio non fosse mai avvenuto?È trascorso un anno da quel giorno fatale in cui Tina Evans ha perso suo figlio Danny e anche se la sua vita è cambiata per sempre, ora sta finalmente iniziando ad accettarlo. Il successo nel lavoro, un incontro di passione e sentimento… tutto sembra rimettersi al posto giusto. Ma le basta confondere il viso di un bambino per quello di suo figlio nell'auto di uno sconosciuto per scatenare in lei un vortice di dubbi ed emozioni incontrollate. E poco dopo, nella camera del suo bambino, sulla lavagna cominciano ad apparire due parole: NON MORTO.Tina ha motivo di credere che quell'incidente con gli scout non si sia mai verificato, e che forse suo figlio viene tenuto lontano da lei, prigioniero di un uomo in nero, e disperatamente bisognoso del suo aiuto. E così, verso un lento e inesorabile destino, il dolore e il dubbio genereranno in lei un'ossessione da cui le sarà impossibile sottrarsi: il bisogno di rivedere suo figlio a costo di sprofondare nell'abisso.Organizzazioni militari segrete e misteriose sperimentazioni sono al centro del romanzo di Dean Koontz, che grazie alla sua straordinaria capacità di descrivere l'animo umano già nel 1981 riuscì a profetizzare una minaccia del nostro tempo in un thriller angosciante e sensazionale.Dall'autore best seller in tutto il mondo, con oltre 450 milioni di copie vendute, un romanzo definito dalla critica e dai lettori con queste parole: “costruito sapientemente, originale e decisamente inquietante.Una lettura imperdibile, suspense ai massimi livelli e un finale assolutamente inatteso.”Finora inedito in Italia, questo romanzo ha già venduto 4 milioni di copie.Dean KoontzGrigliaListaAbisso – Coronavirus: il romanzo della profezia di Dean KoontzIl silenzio uccide (Jane Hawk #1) di Dean KoontzL'inganno uccide (Jane Hawk #3) di Dean KoontzLa notte uccide (Jane Hawk #2) di Dean KoontzIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it

Book Bites are quick looks at a book from our Guest Host readers. Try a new book this week! This week our Guest Host is admiring the Dean Koontz series about Jane Hawk. The first book in the series is The Silent Corner. "“I very much need to be dead.” These are the chilling words left behind by a man who had everything to live for—but took his own life. In the aftermath, his widow, Jane Hawk, does what all her grief, fear, and fury demand: find the truth, no matter what. People of talent and accomplishment, people admired and happy and sound of mind, have been committing suicide in surprising numbers. When Jane seeks to learn why, she becomes the most-wanted fugitive in America. Her powerful enemies are protecting a secret so important—so terrifying—that they will exterminate anyone in their way."   Subscribe to our newsletter, our social media, and our podcasts to stay up to date on all kinds of great stuff!

Bestselling thriller author of ten novels, including The Progeny, Firstborn, The Legend of Sheba, Iscariot, and the Books of Mortals trilogy (with New York Times bestseller Ted Dekker), Tosca Lee is in the house! She’s representing this genre proud with The Line Between, a dystopian page-turner already optioned for television by Edward Burns and his Marlboro Road Gang Productions, in partnership with Radar Pictures (#cantwait). As you’ll hear, the female protagonist could be the little sister of one of my favorite Dean Koontz characters (Dean’s a former guest of this show)—bad-guy killing heroine, Jane Hawk. I’ve put the notorious night-owl Tosca together with my guest co-host today, Hayli Baez, because I adore them both. And, for the unique things they have in common—namely a past with pageantry, as in beauty, which has helped both of their current careers; an obsession with world-travel, fed in part by those pageants; and get this—late-night video-game playing! (Admission, I’ve never played a video game in my life, so I’m dying to know the allure of shooting fake people.) You might be wondering how a busy author like Tosca has time for such an indulgence but says it helps her come up with some of her best characters and storylines. And, I’m guessing her three boys think she’s the coolest. Speaking of cool, Hayli has THE dream job according to my son (and probably yours, too). She actually gets PAID to livestream herself playing video games on Twitch. Yes, that’s really a thing. She also happens to have written excellent fan fiction as a teen and still gives me the best book recommendations of anyone. And, she’s family. I can’t take any credit for her beauty or brains, as she’s my fiancé’s daughter, thus not blood-related. But, as soon as I learned she’d read the entire Harry Potter series more than anyone I’d ever met (or heard of!), I was deeply proud. Lol. I’m excited to share this chat, with its many pearls, including how Tosca plots her suspense and thinks about each character’s arc within the three-act structure (and her two invaluable book recommendations on the subject). There’s her refreshing take on the thriller genre and how she recruits top experts for her research to make her work bulletproof (and how you can too!). I am also fascinated by her thoughts on how travel helps the writing mind play and wander; her description of dealing with the twin demons of fear and procrastination, and why letting someone see your writing before it’s ready is like allowing them to see your cellulite! We talk balancing writing time with platform building (social media); how her hot farmer husband handles her 20-hour writing days (and bakes cookies); what to do when an author friend writes a book you just don’t like; and how when her friends are mad at their mates, they'll ask her help in devising the perfect murder plot. If you love action, conspiracy, romance, and questions of whom—and what—to believe, you’re going to adore this high-octane story of survival and love in a world on the brink of madness (and its sequel, out in September). And, you’ll be taken with the sanity and sweetness of this killer author and her deep gratitude for her craft and her readers. I left this conversation more in love with books and writing them and know it will likewise inspire your reading and writing life. Welcome.

We speak with #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz about his new novel The Silent Corner, the first book in a new series featuring Jane Hawk, an FBI agent gone rogue. Dean Koontz has sold 500 million copies of his books in 38 languages and has won many awards for his work. We also talk with Nora Murphy about her new memoir White Birch, Red Hawthorn. She is a fifth generation Irish Minnesotan and has worked and volunteered in the native community since 1995. She has published 5 books, including Knitting the Threads of Time.

Author of Ricochet Joe & the new Jane Hawk series Interview starts at 10:30 and ends at 41:57 “Whatever I was reading in childhood through adolescence, it lifted me up and out. I think it was all of that that made me want to be a writer. I thought it would be the most amazing thing if out there in the world somewhere there was a kid reading something or an adult for that matter that was really getting to them and affecting them as so many people had affected me. And you didn't even know who they were or where they were. It just struck me as a kind of magical thing to be doing. So because I was a reader, that's really why I became a writer.” News “Amazon May Have Dropped a Clue About a Likely HQ2 Location” by Aaron Pressman at Fortune - January 11, 2018. “Amazon and Google lead way on virtual assistant dealmaking at CES” by Tim Bradshaw at The Financial Times - January 9, 2018 “Amazon's Alexa, Google's Assistant compete at CES to control the smart home” by Matt Day at The Seattle Times - January 8, 2018 “This smart suitcase uses Segway technology to balance itself as it follows you around” by Thuy Ong at The Verge - January 4, 2018 “My heart aches for this Segway-inspired auto-following suitcase that won't stop falling over” by Natt Garun at The Verge - January 8, 2018 Tech Tip “How to pair your AirPods with your Kindle Oasis” by Charlie Sorrel at Cult of Mac - Janiuary 6, 2018 Interview with Dean Koontz Dean Koontz's web site Ricochet Joe The Silent Corner (Jane Hawk #1) and The Whispering Room (Jane Hawk #2) by Dean Koontz Available for preorder with delivery May 8: The Crooked Staircase (Jane Hawk #3) Dean Koontz author page at Amazon.com Books by Kate DiCamillo: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, The Tale of Despereaux, Because of Winn-Dixie, and The Magician's Elephant Four Quartets by T.

What more can you say but Dean Koontz. It's our pleasure to be able to speak with him live on the air. "The Silent Corner" : A dazzling new series, a pure adrenaline rush, debuts with Jane Hawk, a remarkable heroine certain to become an icon of suspense "I very much need to be dead." These are the chilling words left behind by a man who had everything to live for—but took his own life. In the aftermath, his widow, Jane Hawk, does what all her grief, fear, and fury demand: find the truth, no matter what. People of talent and accomplishment, people admired and happy and sound of mind, have been committing suicide in surprising numbers. When Jane seeks to learn why, she becomes the most-wanted fugitive in America. Her powerful enemies are protecting a secret so important—so terrifying—that they will exterminate anyone in their way. But all their power and viciousness may not be enough to stop a woman as clever as they are cold-blooded, as relentless as they are ruthless—and who is driven by a righteous rage they can never comprehend. Because it is born of love. Look for a special preview of Dean Koontz's next Jane Hawk novel, The Whispering Room, in the back of the book.

500 million books sold. 38 languages. 14 #1 New York Times bestsellers. How is that possible? My guest co-host, Robert McKee, and I couldn’t wait to get the inside scoop on a bestselling career that has spanned fifty years and been compared to the Beatles. Welcome to the epic world of Dean Koontz, who is totally delightful and slightly worrisome, in a crawl inside your brain and lays eggs kind of way. (Wait. Don't repeat that! In reality, what struck me as most odd is that he's not at all creepy.)Dean's new thriller, THE WHISPERING ROOM, drops TODAY and will leave you breathless. You might have to sleep with the lights on for a while, but you’ll beg for the next book in this series just the same because our protagonist, Jane Hawk, is that addictive. She's my shero. A rogue FBI agent on a mission to save her son, Jane is intuitive and fearless and perfectly on time with the times—putting the fear of God into abusive men everywhere. If only we could bring her to flesh-and-blood life. And then clone her on every street corner. In this episode, you’ll learn the difference between suspense and mystery; how to "let the character be the character"; how to make the fictional world more real—to the point of being swept away by it; what readers are looking for in the first two paragraphs of a book to make them buy; the three things setting (or nature) must accomplish; why reaction is more important than action; how worrying about paying the rent discourages a lot of artists + and the mindset you must have to break through. Of course, there’s so much more—including a civilized disagreement about the existence of the muse and a little Hollywood bashing. I feel so blessed the legendary Robert McKee is back on the show. Imagine, these two experts talking shop about Setting and Suspense and Opening Hooks and Dialogue and so much more. Speaking of dialogue, Robert’s latest book, DIALOGUE: The Art of Verbal Action for the Page, Stage, and Screen will floor you with how much there is to know about the act of talking. Who knew?! Fortunately, McKee does. The details are so detailed I thought about quitting writing to find a day job until I remembered I’m too old for that and took wild amounts of notes instead. The show, as they say, must go on. So take a listen. You’ll see why the writers of Pixar (creators of TOY STORY and FINDING NEMO), consider McKee’s STORY seminar a rite of passage. And how alumni of his courses have earned 200 Oscar nominations (with 60 wins) and 1,000 Emmy noms (with 200 wins). As for Dean and this thriller genre. If you’re tempted to think it’s not for you because you hightail it out of the room when the 10 o’clock news starts as if a quake just hit, and watch Abraham Hicks videos on replay in a desperate attempt to trust in a benevolent Universe, I feel ya. Same, same. But with Koontz and McKee as our guides, we just might find a whole lotta heart and sanity in the story. Even after the sun goes down. I’m so glad you’re here. Welcome. Linda Next up for our Holiday show, join me as I interview Gabrielle Bernstein about her #1 NYT bestselling career + her upcoming book JUDGMENT DETOX. Not that I'm judgemental or anything, but if I were, I'm thinking this would be the time of year to work on it. (Smiley.) Subscribe here so you're the first to know when it posts.

The one and only Mr. Tom Hanks is here, and he’s caffeinated and ready to rock this podcast—with melodic typing accompaniment, no less. I couldn’t have chosen a better guest host than Danielle LaPorte to join me in perhaps our most enjoyable conversation yet. From the first seconds of Tom's hilarious/unorthodox entrance, we do our best to keep up with one of the world’s most creative minds. But as he soon learns, we ladies have several psychological tricks up our sleeve, and even get him to gut laugh a few times (go, D!). The 17 fictional stories in Tom’s book, Uncommon Type: Some Stories (Knopf), are whimsical, satirical, surprising, funny, and deeply touching. The characters and worlds he creates stay with you. Change you. Cause you to see things, you’d never thought of before. According to Kirkus: “While these stories have the all-American sweetness, humor, and heart we associate with his screen roles, Hanks writes like a writer, not a movie star.” Steve Martin says: “It turns out that Tom Hanks is also a wise and hilarious writer with an endlessly surprising mind. Damn it.” Just what you’d hope to find from this Oscar-winning (2x) actor, screenwriter, director, producer, and musician Renaissance man who has previously published pieces in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker, but for whom this is his first collection of fiction. We can only hope it won’t be his last. Pull up a chair and sit a spell as we mix up our usual format a tad and experience the interviewing time of our lives. And P.S.—We just might get Tom to comment on our fantasy of he & Oprah running for office. God, I love this gig. I’m so happy you’re here. xx Next month: I interview novelist Dean Koontz (500 million books sold) about his new thriller, The Whispering Room, from the NYT bestselling Jane Hawk series. The legendary screenwriter/story + dialogue coach, Robert McKee will be back, this time in the co-host chair. Subscribe here so you'll know the minute it posts. For more info, go to: www.beautifulwriterspodcast.com.

In a career that spans almost five decades, Dean Koontz has plenty to be thankful for, including fourteen novels that reached the number one spot on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list. The Pennsylvania native, who has sold over 450 million copies of his books came straight to Just the Right Book to dish on his latest novel, The Silent Corner, which kicks off a new series starring Jane Hawk, a young FBI agent gone rogue.
