Lone Star Sleuths Bibliography of Texas-Based Mystery/Detective Fiction
Lone Star Sleuths Bibliography of Texas-based Mystery/Detective Fiction A Bibliography of Texas-based Mystery/Detective Fiction Be sure to check out the new anthology, Lone Star Sleuths, available from the University of Texas Press as part of its Southwestern Writers Collection Book Series. Reflecting the remarkable diversity of the state, Texas-based mysteries extend from the Guadalupe Mountains in the west to the Piney Woods of East Texas. This annotated bibliography, arranged according to different regions of the state, helps map out some reading trails for mystery fans. We sought to provide a comprehensive list of mystery authors, although not every title published by each author is included. This list is not intended to provide an exhaustive listing of each book published by each author. Instead, it is intended to simply point the Central Texas way towards further exploration by readers. East Texas This bibliography was originally compiled for an exhibit at the Southwestern Writers Collection, Texas State University, in 2003-2004. It was prepared by Steve Davis, North Texas Assistant Curator of the Southwestern Writers Collection, and by Dr. Rollo K. Newsom, Professor Emeritus at Texas State. Along with Bill Cunningham, Davis and Newsom are South Texas co-editors of Lone Star Sleuths. West Texas This bibliography is not currently being updated, but the compilers do welcome Other Texas Mysteries corrections, additions, elaborations, and other feedback. The bibliography may be updated as time permits. Please send comments to Steve Davis.

IDHAYA COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, KUMBAKONAM SEMESTER : II SUBJECT : LITERARY FORMS SUBJECT CODE : 16AACEN2 TITLE OF THE PAPER : FICTION CLASS : I BA ENGLISH NAME OF THE FACULTY : M. NANDHINI 1. SHORT STORIES Definitions A short story is a piece of prose fiction that typically can be read in one sitting and focuses on a self-contained incident or series of linked incidents, with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood. Key characteristics of the short story include its length, limited number of characters, subject matter, and tendency to begin 'in medias res', which is Latin for 'the middle of things A short story typically takes the form of a brief fictional work, usually written in prose. The earliest precursors to the short story can be found in the oral storytelling tradition, as well as episodes from ancient Mediterranean epics, such as 'The Epic of Gilgamesh' and Homer's 'Iliad.' The true masters at combining the five key elements that go into every great short story: character, setting, conflict, plot and theme. Characteristics Length: Short stories typically range from 1,600 to 20,000 words. Although authors and critics have debated the length of the short story throughout literary history, most agree on a minimum of 1,600 and a maximum of 20,000 words. In his own contribution to the debate, Edgar Allen Poe suggested that a short story should take 30 minutes to two hours to read. Subject: Short stories usually focus on a single subject or theme. Subjects or themes may range from something as mundane as a daily errand or as thrilling as a ghost tale. -

Kristen L. Bowen. UNC-Chapel Hill North Carolina Collection Fiction from 2000-2014
Kristen L. Bowen. UNC-Chapel Hill North Carolina Collection Fiction from 2000-2014. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. November, 2014. 45 pages. Advisor: Dr. Claudia J. Gollop This study investigated how North Carolina fiction set in North Carolina has developed over the time period of 2000-2014. The North Carolina fiction studied was fiction held in the North Carolina Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill that had been published in the years 2000-2014 and was blogged on the Read North Carolina Novels blog. Seventy-five books were included in the study, and the genres, settings, and authors of these books were examined. Based on the results of the study, the data revealed that the two most popular genres for the years of 2000-2014 were mystery and romance/relationship. These two genres contain different subgenres and are adaptable to appeal to a wide range of users and also to authors because of their marketability. However, the lack of science fiction/fantasy novels from these years demonstrates the importance of studying North Carolina fiction to determine what is actually occurring within this market.

A Study of Mystery and Detective Fiction
Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1989 Volume IV: Detective Fiction: Its Use as Literature and History Plot, Character and Setting: A Study of Mystery and Detective Fiction Curriculum Unit 89.04.09 by Patrick A. Velardi Introduction When reading and discussing short stories with students in the sixth, seventh or eighth grades, much time is spent in figuring out the plot. Focusing on the central problem in a story forces students to understand the motivation of the characters. Why do the characters act the way they do? Amazingly, many students will read stories without ever considering the problem presented by the author, and then they end up totally confused about what they have read. After working with plot until students begin to ask themselves, what is the problem in this story, characters and setting can be discussed more clearly. The pieces make more sense once the motivation of the action is understood. Reading mystery and detective fiction is a splendid means of accomplishing plot recognition. Detective fiction allows students to get in tune with the author, and then with the characters in a book. While reading a mystery, the young person is forced to listen to the author much more than in other types of literature. Therefore, the focus on plot brings about a clearer understanding of how an author goes about contriving his tale. While enjoying a good book the student is also learning how a good author works. Once a student’s grasp of plot is firm, the further study of character and setting will make more sense.
