Terrorists never kill anyone newsworthy. If you could convince terrorists to blow up Pamela Anderson or Lindsay Lohan, maybe we would get somewhere. I'm guessing that 2007 will be the year of Extreme Diet Thrillers. Semi-famous actresses and models begin starving themselves (for reasons to be revealed in the shocking conclusion). Will the hero be able to make them eat cheesecake--and keep it down--before eating disorders claim even more semi-famous victims? That and perhaps Brad-Pitt-girlfriend thrillers. Trust me, I've got my fingers on the pulse of the checkout line. (Meanwhile, I suggest we all include Nicole Richie in our existing novels, perhaps as a novelist bombed by terrorists.)

Let's hope the demand for "Terrorist Thrillers" shows an increase. Wishing you a Happy Healthy 2007. I can tell you it’s not easy getting one published!
