I do purposely seek out book news -- from the industry side. I subscribe to Publishers Weekly and PW Marketplace and follow genre publishing through organizations such as Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers and Romance Writers of America. I think the industry as a whole is fascinating. The...

Hi, Noamag! Here's an article that I did up for my website that addresses this very issue. Of course, this is from a writer's perspective, but it might give you some of the info you need! Good luck with your project! :) WHAT ARE GENRES, AND HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WRITE? Genre...

*Published* post-1950, or ABOUT post-1950? And is this for world history, or the history of a particular country?

CONGRATS, Novella! A stellar accomplishment, indeed! I managed a paltry 3,000 yesterday, and today was working on copy edits. Ick! Weird thing happened (and I mean, CREEPY weird!) Our editor contacted us about the copy edits we had completed (that's where you get out the red pen and...

It is indeed a Christie book. It's "Death on the Nile". I'd have to go back to see the names of the characters again, but a woman is murdered and her husband is suspected. In a flashback scene, he admits to Poirot that he was cheating on her with a mistress, but had no reason to kill the...

Joseph Wambaugh has several good ones, and they're "true crime" versus complete fiction, so just a tad...grittier.

I'm arriving late, but how did the battle go, K-Dawn?

:confused: Sorry, latenight, but your English translator isn't making your question one that I can answer. I'm afraid you'll have to rephrase the questions before I have any idea what you're wanting to know... What's your native language? Maybe someone here can help ask the question.

Victory Nelson is the "Blood" series. Loved it! Just starting on her brand new one that follows one of the sub-characters (but I understand the regular ones are guest stars). It's called SMOKE AND SHADOWS and is in hardback. :)

Welcome, angelblue. Do you have any favorite authors you'd like to talk about?

--Does media (including books) surrounding a trial unfairly prejudice the outcome? To what extent should that be controlled? Well, in the case of the Peterson trial, the jury was sequestered, so no -- it probably didn't unfairly prejudice. But in a lot of cases, I believe that's true. But...

If he likes to laugh, I'd suggest the short story collections of Patrick McManus or Pat Wray. The hero in those are tough and grizzled (but bumbling) guys who keep being in the wrong place at the wrong time. My dad loved them! :)

Yeah, others have suggested that too... ;) But then I'd be more worried about whether or not the information was 100% accurate. As it is, it's merely my suggestion for people to follow up on themselves. Besides, I'm not rich, but it's my little way of being philanthropic! :D

Okay, I either found the author or at least some articles regarding the book. I think you're looking for a series of books written by Helena Blavatsky around 1915. She wrote the first few in her late teen's and then took on the name "Madame Blavatsky" and continued to write extensively about...

Have you thought about Bombshell, the new mystery/suspense/intrigue imprint of Harlequin? They've got a UK branch (Mills & Boon), so you wouldn't necessarily have to do e-mail. And since it's a new line, I know they're looking for new authors. Yeah, it's *technically* romance, but really...

True crime (events that actually occurred) or fiction? If fiction, are the characters somewhat hard-boiled or do you write cozies?

I actually remember reading about this book, but can't remember where. It seemed like it was a footnote in another book I owned on the subject, but it DID give the publisher, date and author and I meant to search for it. I'll look around my library and see what I can find. It might take me...

Only the male ones, Wabbit! :eek: If you'd just take the time to check... ;)

The only thing I could find AT ALL about Whitmore was on the Another Realm site, where they rank book publishers of all sorts. They're not recommended. Whitmore Publishing Company: a small publisher believed owned by Dorrance Publishing. No up-front fee, but requires purchase of multiple...

No *personal* experience, Eugen, but have heard lots of bad, bad things about PublishAmerica. They've been in the major press here quite a bit lately. Here are some links to read about them: From Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America: http://www.sfwa.org/news/atlantanights.htm...
