    Definition of Thriller Novel from James Rollins

    I read a great article about James Rollins recently (he’s one of the founders of the International Thriller Writer’s Association, which recently held it’s annual conference in NYC). I  had been searching for awhile for a good definition and most seemed nebulous or incomplete. However, I thought James Rollins’ definition to be complete and on target- at least for my work.

    He said, “Thrillers deal in science fiction, romance, suspense, mystery.” That encompasses all the various aspects of my thriller and it’s a useful framework in developing new novels.

    Hope you find this definition useful too!
