| Author of the Month: Brad Meltzer |
| Becoming a novelist was not one of Brad Meltzer's lifelong ambitions; he arrived at this profession by chance after his job at a magazine didn't work out. He had no idea what to do with his life, but resolved to write a novel --- a good choice at the time, considering how much he enjoyed writing.
His first book, The Tenth Justice, became an instant New York Times bestseller and subsequent efforts --- Dead Even, The First Counsel and The Millionaires --- were just as successful. Meltzer's legal thrillers are fast-paced, tension-filled and exhaustively researched.
Meltzer's latest novel, The Zero Game, focuses on two Capitol Hill staffers involved in a lethal game and the 16-year-old Senate page determined to redeem them. To celebrate its release, AuthorsOnTheWeb has chosen Brad Meltzer as our Author of the Month. Readers can learn more about Meltzer's life and works through fast facts and biographical information, as well as links to his website, bibliography, interviews and book reviews.
Win a free copy of The Zero Game by Brad Meltzer. Your subscription to the AuthorsOnTheWeb.com newsletter makes you eligible. If you are receiving this newsletter via e-mail, you automatically are entered to win!
