Donna Woolfolk Cross is the author of Pope Joan, an international best-seller, a discussion group favorite and soon to be a major motion picture. The saga is based on the story of one of the most extraordinary women in Western history--a controversial figure who, disguised as a man, rose to rule Christianity in the 9th century as the first and only woman to sit on the throne of St. Peter. Cross lives in upstate New York, where she is at work on a novel set in 17th century France. www.popejoan.com.
Brad Thor, the New York Times bestselling author of five suspense thrillers, has been called “as current as tomorrow’s headlines.” In his latest novel, Takedown, New York City is once again under attack and nearly immobilized: in less than six hours, the enemies of America may just pull off the unthinkable. Thor has served as a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s Analytic Red Cell Program and has appeared on FOX News Channel, CNN, and all major networks as a National Security Expert to discuss terrorism, as well as how closely his novels of international intrigue parallel the real threats facing the world today. www.bradthor.com
Steve Berry has had four top-selling thrillers. His newest, The Templar Legacy, concerns a medieval order, a modern conspiracy and the chase to discover if an incredible secret really exists. Spending eight weeks on the New York Times Top 10 list, the book also climbed into the top 10 for USA Today, Publisher's Weekly, and Book Sense. An attorney in coastal Georgia, Berry is an international bestseller, with his books published in 35 languages in 38 countries. www.steveberry.org.
