Her new book Wicked River launches May 1 from Sourcebooks and is a "thinking woman's thriller." In the book, a honeymooning couple canoeing and camping in the Adirondacks finds more than marital bliss.... rather, obsession, murder, and a race against time keep thrills (and chills) on readers' minds!
She will discuss:
>Her own camping snafus and honeymoon averted crisis (spoiler alert, she went to Paris instead)
>Being on the "longest book tour" in the country
>Touring with her husband and two kiddos
>Take Your Child to A Bookstore Day
>Writing romance in a thriller setting
>Working with International Thriller Writers in a leadership position
>Changing publishers and her own path to publishing story
The incredible NYT bestselling Lee Child has raved about Jenny's work from the beginning, saying of her first book, “everything a great suspense novel should be,” and of her second, “Milchman writes very human, but very uncompromising stories which appeal to both poles of the genre successfully and simultaneously...she has a lot of talent. It’s a complete mystery to me why she’s not already huge.” Now of this new book, “Milchman is the Swiss Army knife of thriller writers. A Venn diagram of potential readers would start from all corners of the genre - Harlan Coben’s fans, C J Box’s. Stephen King’s (in certain modes), as well as many resourceful-women-in-trouble writers.”
