Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes back thriller and suspense author Allan Leverone after a long absence from the studio. Allan's new book is THE SOVIET ASSASSIN, the 7th entry in the Tracie Tanner series. If you're a fan of Brad Thor or Vince Flynn, you're going to love this new hero. It's spring, 1988, and Tracie Tanner is about to discover that the life-and-death choices she makes while operating clandestinely may have devastating consequences that reach far beyond anything she can imagine.

Last winter, while on a mission to root out and eliminate the driving force behind a Soviet program targeting American operatives for death via poisoning, she captured and tortured a KGB operative in order to extract the intelligence needed to complete her mission. In a fateful decision, Tracie spared the Soviet operative's life. Now that man has returned, vowing to extract the ultimate vengeance on the woman who humiliated him and left his career in a shambles. But killing Tracie Tanner will not be enough. He is determined to make her suffer first. And someone close to Tracie will die.

I’m also the author of Jar of Hearts (Minotaur). I was in born in Toronto, but I spent eight years in the Seattle area, which is where all my novels are set. I’m a Seahawks fan but I married a Packers guy. We have a young son who looks most like me when he’s crying. My favorite author is Stephen King (but whose isn’t?). I’m afraid of the dark and can’t sleep unless I’ve checked the locks on the doors several times. I love writing when it’s raining, sleeping when it’s sunny, and reading after everyone else has gone to bed. I cherish my family (those who read, and those who don’t), and my friends (those who write, and those who don’t).

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes Jessica Barry to the studio. Jessica Barry is a pseudonym for an American author who grew up in a small town in Massachusetts and was raised on a steady diet of library books and PBS. She attended Boston University, where she majored in English and Art History, before moving to London in 2004 to pursue an MA from University College London and a career in publishing.

About DON'T TURN AROUND: 322 miles of road. 6 hours. 2 strangers. 1 killer. Too many secrets.

Midnight. Cait Monaghan and Rebecca McRae are on a desolate road that slices through the New Mexican desert. They've never met before tonight. Both have secrets to protect. Both of their lives are in danger.

When a truck pulls up fast behind them, they assume it's punk teenagers or run-of-the-mill road rage, but it soon becomes clear that whoever is driving the truck is hunting them for sport—and they are out to draw blood.

As the miles unspool and the dangers mount, the pasts they've worked so hard to keep buried have come back to haunt them. Someone wants one of them dead. But which one? And given the lives the two women have been leading, that someone could be almost anyone. If Cait and Rebecca are going to survive, they'll have to learn to trust one another—and themselves. But trust is a costly business, and they’ve both paid the price before. . . .

Stephanie Newman, author of Barbarians at the PTA is in conversation with host Pam Stack on Authors on the Air.

Desperate Housewives Meets Mean Girls in this Heartfelt and Hilarious Debut Novel about a Mother-Daughter Duo Facing Cliques, Cyberbullying, and Snobs in a Wealthy NYC Suburb

Victoria Bryant is starting over. After a rage-inducing scandal and the realization that her dreamy fiancé is faker than a faux Fendi purse, she moves her psychology practice and 10-year-old daughter, Rachel, to Mayfair Close, an idyllic Westchester, NY, suburb known for its manicured lawns and excellent schools.

The transition is initially seamless; several PTA moms befriend Victoria, her already busy practice booms, and Rachel finds a group of friends. But before anyone can say “helicopter mom,” in walks Lee DeVry. Wealthy, glamorous and perfectly toned, the PTA president is everything Victoria is not.

Vic tries to fit in with Lee and the other SUV driving, athleisure-wearing mothers. At first, she manages to balance the demands of her practice, single parenthood, and her budding romance with Jim, a handsome school administrator. All seems well until Rachel is suddenly targeted, first by the girls at school, and then by an anonymous cyberbully. As Rachel spirals, becoming isolated, playing hooky, and exhibiting signs of depression and disordered eating, Victoria vows to find out who has been messing with her daughter.

Authors on the Air presents Alex Rosenberg, historical thriller author and philosophy professor at Duke University.

The Intrigues of Jennie Lee: A gripping and evocative story of love, politics, betrayal and bravery, which reimagines events of the interwar years. Jennie Lee was elected to parliament aged just twenty-four, five years too young even to vote in 1929 Britain. From the Labour backbenches, she hurled barbs and bolts of thunder at the likes of Winston Churchill, Lady Astor, even her own party’s Prime Minister, Ramsay McDonald. The novel intertwines real events with a personal story involving Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons, the future Queen Mother; the womanizing fascist Oswald Mosley; the Great War prime minister Lloyd-George; and the radical Labour MP Aneurin Bevan. A series of political and intimate intrigues turn history into thriller when Jennie has the chance to radically change the course of history for Britain, Europe and the world. '...marvellous in so many ways…

About Alex Rosenberg: Alex's latest novel is a political thriller. Jennie Lee was a member of the British parliament elected at the age of 24, five years too young even to vote for herself. Starting with the real person, "The Intrigues of Jennie Lee" takes Jennie through personal and political crises turning real events into murder mysteries that change the course of European history. Before he became a novelist Alex wrote many books about philosophy. These books were mainly addressed to other academics. But in 2011 Alex published a book that explores the answers science gives to the big questions of philosophy that thinking people ask themselves--questions about the nature of reality, the meaning of life, moral values, free will, the relationship of the mind to the brain, and our human future.

Margaret Lucke flings words around as a writer and editor in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has always been fascinated by the power of stories and the magic of creativity.

She writes tales of love, ghosts and murder, sometimes all three in one book. Her new novel, House of Desire, is the second novel in the Claire Scanlan Haunted House Series, following House of Whispers. Claire is a reluctant psychic, able to sense spirits and strange energies that no one else can detect. When her philandering brother-in-law is accused of murdering a rival in a grand San Francisco Victorian, Claire must risk a perilous journey into the past to find the only witness—a time-traveling “soiled dove” from the 1890s who is invisible to everyone but her.

Margaret also writes mysteries featuring artist and private investigator Jess Randolph, the latest of which is Snow Angel. She is the editor of Fault Lines, a short story anthology published last year by the Northern California chapter of Sisters in Crime. She teaches fiction writing classes and workshops, and is the author of two nonfiction books on the craft of writing.
