ANNIE ASKS DAVID BELL & M. HENDRIX

ANNIE MCDONNELL INTRODUCES THE INCREDIBLY TALENTED DAVID BELL AND M. HENDRIX

David Bell is the New York Times-bestselling author of sixteen novels including his most recents: TRY NOT TO BREATHE and SHE’S GONE.

His work has been translated into numerous foreign languages, included on several bestseller lists, nominated for the Pushcart Prize five times, and, in 2013, won the prestigious Prix Polar International de Cognac for best crime novel by an international author. KILL ALL YOUR DARLINGS was also nominated for a 2022 Edgar Award.

He is a professor of English at Western Kentucky University where he co-founded the MFA program in creative writing. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, he spends his free time rooting for the Reds and Bengals, watching movies, and walking in the cemetery near his house. He lives in Bowling Green, Kentucky, with his wife, young adult author M Hendrix.

M Hendrix is the Pushcart-Prize nominated author of two previous books. THE CHAPERONE is her first novel. It was a #1 new release at Parnassus Books, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon and also earned a starred review from Booklist. M holds a PhD in creative writing from the University of Cincinnati, where she was a Taft Fellow. Born in Baltimore and raised in New Jersey, she has lived in twelve states and now makes her home in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

This incredibly talented duo got us through the pandemic with their super fun podcast about a couple surviving a podcast together as authors and more. They included reviews of movies and TV shows and they are both always very funny. It’s quite shocking they write about death and murder and missing people!

They are the perfect pair for “Annie’s Asks” October interview. It was so much fun I couldn’t capture the interview in words - you must watch the podcast to hear all of the questions and their answers. Mandy agreed and she put the interview up on the Between The Pages Podcast early - enjoy!

"This thrilling and evenly paced, dialogue-driven tale by Hendrix deftly explores issues of women's rights, class privilege, and oppression" -- Publishers Weekly

"Bell delivers a perfect beach read with compelling characters and baffling circumstances....even the savviest suspense readers will be shocked by the final pages. Bell is truly at the top of his game with this psychological thriller. Fans of Lisa Gardner and Mary Kubica will want to add this to the top of their reading pile."--Library Journal
