CHICK WIT: Giuseppe Scottoline
By Lisa Scottoline
Recently I mentioned that I received an award from International Thriller Writers called the ThrillerMaster, which makes me sound a lot more exciting than I am.
The award was a lifetime achievement award for writing, and I’m so grateful for it, especially to my readers.
