Thriller author August Norman joins the cast of Allegedly at ACME NoHo
Saturday, June 1st, at 9 PM, thriller author August Norman will appear as guest monologist in the improv comedy show ALLEGEDLY, a cast of veteran improvisers who will spin a world of scenes based on August’s discussion topics.
Will they talk about the world of publishing, or the debut novel COME AND GET ME? No way to know until the show starts.
Tickets, beer, wine, and soft drinks available at the door.
ABOUT COME AND GET ME:
An intrepid journalist confronts a small town’s dark secrets in Come and Get Me, a breakneck thriller for fans of Tess Gerritsen and Julia Keller.
At Indiana University, someone’s been studying the female student body:
their dating customs, nocturnal activities―and how long they can survive in captivity.
When award-winning journalist Caitlin Bergman is invited back to campus to receive an honorary degree, she finds an opportunity for a well-earned victory lap―and a chance to face the trauma that almost destroyed her as an undergrad. But her lap becomes an all-out race when a student begs her to probe an unsolved campus disappearance: Angela Chapman went out one Friday night and never came back.
To find the missing woman, Caitlin must join forces with a local police detective and the department that botched her own case so long ago.
But while Caitlin follows the clues behind Angela’s disappearance, someone else is following her…
Unearthing secrets hidden beneath an idyllic Midwestern college town, Caitlin must expose what really happened to Angela―before she herself becomes the newest addition to a twisted collection.

Thriller author August Norman hosts CrimeReads round table about creating fictional murders in real-world locations
When writing a modern crime novel, authors have to choose a location. Many, like Michael Connelly’s Bosch series, take place in real locations plucked from the map. Others are set in fictional towns.
I chose to set my debut thriller, COME AND GET ME: A Caitlin Bergman Novel, in the very real locations of Bloomington, Indiana, Los Angeles, California, and parts of the Bahamas.
Other authors create entire towns, both to protect the innocent and give themselves creative freedom.
I sat down with 6 contemporary authors for CrimeReads.com to discuss the process of setting fictional murders in real-world settings.
