We’re pleased to announce a visit with author Jeff Ayers who will talk to us about his writing history and his new novel – Leave No Trace – co-written with Jon Land (hence J.A. Landau).

Jeff Ayers has been a freelance writer and reviewer since 1999. He has reviewed for Library Journal, where he is a former Fiction Reviewer of the Year, for Booklist, and for The Associated Press.

Jeff recently retired from his reference librarian position after almost 30 years after interviewing hundreds of authors in print, audio, and video, including James Patterson, Harlan Coben, and Dan Brown. In addition to this and moderating panels at BookExpo America, ThrillerFest, and various other conferences, he has published several titles in both fiction and nonfiction, including Voyages of Imagination: The Star Trek Fiction Companion, where he covered over 550 novels and interviewed over 350 people, including William Shatner. He currently has several manuscripts out for submission and is under contract for a nonfiction book for Grand Central Publishing.

Jeff is a Co-Executive Director of ThrillerFest, the annual conference for the International Thriller Writers.

Join us at the Local Authors Book Group for a visit with a recently joined INWG member, Denise Spain, writing as D.L. Bunch. We’ll talk with her about her writing history and her recent release of the first title in her apocalyptic series – All Things Lost.
