Allison here: I’ve judged the Thriller Awards nearly every year, and my favorite category is Best First Novel. Why? Because a writer’s first book is usually one of their best.

Permanent Press is a small publisher who has TWO books nominated for Best First Novel in ITW’s Thriller Awards. I am so pleased to have these two nominees here on my blog today and tomorrow! J.J.
