I believe I've only read one Mary Higgins Clark mystery so I'm not sure why I mooched this audio version of her memoirs. However, I'm glad I did. It's great when an author narrates her own book because you know that emphasis is placed where she wants it and the lines are read the way they are meant to be. I was also surprised by Clark's Bronx accent. It made her seem more folksy and less like the high-powered...

This week Amazon announced the UK launch of its latest generation of e-reader. But don't all rush at once, warns one American writer – despite the hype, the Kindle 2 is still no match for the book I ordered a Kindle 2 from Amazon. How could I not? There were banner ads for it all over the web. Whenever I went to the Amazon.com website, I was urged to buy one. "Say Hello to Kindle 2,"...

I scheduled this book for later in the month, unaware of the actual release date. Those first week sales are so important for authors, just like for movies, so I moved it up on my blog calendar. I'm reading it now and when I finish later today, I'll update this post with a review. In the meantime, let me reacquaint you with author, Cara Putnam. When Cara's debut novel, Double Exposure , released,...

I came across a folder of rejection letters from 2005, the year I went in search of an agent. I’d almost forgotten about this painful compilation of letters, but I pulled it out and began to sift through the form letters, the brief comments, and the manuscript requests. I signed with Jessica Faust of Book Ends that year and I am just as grateful to her for taking a chance on me today, as I was...

Found this article, The Humbug , over at The New Yorker . It's about Edgar Allan Poe , and he's presented as quite the character (I first heard of and read his work as a high school student). An excerpt: Poe didn’t write “The Raven” to answer the exacting demands of a philosophic Art, or not entirely, anyway. He wrote it for the same reason that he wrote tales like “The Gold-Bug”:...
