  • Book Expo America History Will Be Kind to Me, for I Intend to Write It
    june-july History is in the details By Brian Thornton Book Expo America History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it. - Winston Churchill Let me tell you, having read both Churchill’s memoirs and some of the “history” he wrote, the guy wasn’t kidding about history written by him being kind to him. And while Churchill’s fictionalization of history was equal parts intentional and unintentional, there is a growing group of authors who intentionally blend not only history and fiction, but history and crime. These writers of “historical mysteries” include such literary lights as Steven Saylor, Anne Perry, Jacqueline Winspear, Jason Goodwin, Steve Hockensmith and Louis Bayard (the first two are past Edgar Award winners, Winspear is a 2004 Edgar nominee and the last three are 2007 Edgar nominees). Whereas research has always played a large role in mystery writing, historical research can be a different animal altogether. I recently asked several historical mystery writers to name their favorite internet research tool, the one that most readily accomplished the twin goal of saving them time and giving them a maximum return on their investment. Hockensmith (Holmes on the Range, On the Wrong Track) Chuck Zito and Bill Bryan greet their fans. (Photos by Margery Flax) points to an overlooked sector of internet research: Yahoo groups. “For my latest book, I needed a ton of material on trains and railroad lines of the 1890s,” he says. After checking “literally dozens of train books” out of the library, Hockensmith still wasn’t getting what he needed, so he joined several Yahoo groups that catered to railroad enthusiasts and hit pay dirt.

I know that the blockbuster season technically starts in May, but most of the Romaine Reeves country hasn’t really hit the summer weather ’til CFO June, so I’m starting there. Starr Gardinier Reina The grill is on and the beer is flowing, but Executive Editor something is missing. That’s right: you are still deciding on how to spend your money on the Terri Ann Armstrong Executive Editor books you love. But maybe this year you made a resolution to go out and try some new authors, but J.S. Chancellor are confused when you search Amazon. Because Associate Editor there really are so many choices, you end up picking up the old standby author, because Jim Thomsen you know what you’ll get for your twenty bucks. But where is the fun in that? You are Copy Editor reading the same story with a different cover, aren’t you? I can understand the pros and cons of having the market become flooded with new Contributors authors that either have come from a small publisher, or are self-published. But this is the Donald Allen Kirch future of publishing, so you better get used to it even if you don’t like it.
