What are you working on now? Can you tell us anything about your next book, or is it too soon to say?

Hi, Andrew. I haven't read any of your books yet, but it appears that I have all of them either on my Nook or on my wish list. Before you wrote with James Patterson, did you already know what style of writing you wanted to do when you got on your own?

Welcome Andrew
With you co-authored books with James Patterson-how were you able to coordinate the collective writings?
Writing as a solo author would be hard enough, but two on the same book?? Any disagreements on content? If so-you know what they say about opinions-everyone is entitled to have one. Can you share how you go about resolving content conflicts?

You had me at Leslie Fay! OMG my mom and I used to fight over the Leslie Fay clothes at Miller & Rhoads in Virginia Beach. We may have had the whole collection.
Seriously, it really is interesting to learn unexpected trivia about your favorite authors. Thanks for sharing.
I've enjoyed hearing more about your latest release.
Thanks for bringing us great stories,

I remember Leslie Fay, too - one of my favorite tops was a Leslie Fay, back in the day.

NEWS!!
This was just passed on to me:
I wanted to check in and make sure you saw the great ***starred*** Kirkus review for Andrew Gross’s 15 SECONDS:
“A taut thriller from Gross about misplaced vengeance. …This story begins in high gear and never downshifts as it often swerves to show the world through the villain’s eyes. … It all works up to a frightening finale that Gross handles with masterful skill. …Fans of the genre will love this one. It’s a fast, fun read with crisp dialogue and a tight plot. If you’re a bedtime reader, you might as well plan on staying up late, because you’ll be itching to learn how it ends.”
While on tour in 2010, Andy was driving to a book signing when he was pulled over for making an illegal U-turn. What should have been a routine traffic stop found Andy handcuffed and detained in the back of a squad car with a police officer shouting homeland security-type questions at the author.
Luckily he was let go with a warning but that experience got him thinking about just how quickly a life can change. And that led to the germination for his most recent thriller, 15 SECONDS (Morrow, on sale 7/10/2012, ISBN: 9780061655975). 15 SECONDS may not seem that long, but for Dr. Henry Steadman, 15 SECONDS is all it takes to turn his life upside down, set him on the run from the police, and make him Florida’s most wanted man.
15 SECONDS is sure to send chills down your spine and shows a growing master of the genre at the top of his form. I urge you to just read 20 pages—you will not put it down from there. As Harlan Coben says, “[15 SECONDS is] A white knuckle, stay-up-all-night thrill ride.”
