On this special edition of Author Confidential Beck will host/moderate an exclusive author's roundtable with #1 New York Times bestselling thriller writers Nelson DeMille and Vince Flynn originating from SIRIUS XM's studios in Rockefeller Center.

As Beck's new fictional thriller The Overton Window hits stores, he, Flynn and DeMille will explore how authors develop plotlines for thrillers mixing fact and fiction.

Author Confidential with Glenn Beck will air June 16 at 9:00 pm and June 18 at 4:00 pm ET on SIRIUS XM Book Radio (SIRIUS channel 117/XM channel 163). In addition, it will air June 17 at 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm ET on SIRIUS XM Stars (SIRIUS channel 102/XM channel 155) and June 19 at 8:00 pm and June 20 at 1:00 pm and 9:00 pm ET on SIRIUS XM Patriot (SIRIUS channel 144/XM channel 166), the conservative talk channel that airs Beck's daily radio show The Glenn Beck Program.

The Overton Window is a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that that weaves together American history and frightening facts about our present condition. The title refers to a model of public policy conceived by the late Joseph Overton, who was president of a think tank. The "Overton Window" is a powerful technique that can shape our lives, our laws, and our future that works by manipulating public perception so that ideas previously thought of as radical begin to seem acceptable over time.

Glenn Beck is the author of five back-to-back #1 New York Times bestsellers, including Arguing with Idiots, Common Sense, and The Christmas Sweater and is one of a few authors in history to have #1 bestsellers in both fiction and non-fiction. Vince Flynn's latest book is The Pursuit of Honor. Nelson DeMille's latest book is The Lion.
