  • 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.

  • Horny Toads and Ugly Chickens: a Bibliography on Texas in Speculative Fiction
    HORNY TOADS AND UGLY CHICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON TEXAS IN SPECULATIVE FICTION by Bill Page Dellwood Press Bryan, Texas June 2010 1 HORNY TOADS AND UGLY CHICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON TEXAS IN SPECULATIVE FICTION by Bill Page In this bibliography I have compiled a list of science fiction, fantasy and horror novels that are set in Texas. I have mentioned several short stories and a few poems and plays in this bibliography, but I did not make any sustained attempt to identify such works. I have not listed works of music, though many songs exist which deal with these subjects. Most entries are briefly annotated, though I well understand that it is impossible to accurately describe a book in only one or two sentences. As one reads science fiction and fantasy novels set in Texas, certain themes repeat themselves. There are, of course, numerous works about ghosts, vampires, and werewolves. Authors often write about invasions of the state, not only by creatures from outer space, but also by foreigners, including the Russians, the Germans, the Mexicans, the Japanese and even the Israelis. One encounters familiar plot devices, such as time travel, in other books. Stories often depict a Texas devastated by some apocalypse – sometimes it is global warming, sometimes World War III has been fought, and usually lost, by the United States, and, in one case, the disaster consisted of a series of massive earthquakes which created ecological havoc and destroyed most of the region's infrastructure. The mystique of the old west has long been an alluring subject for authors; even Jules Verne and Bram Stoker used Texans in stories.

  • Recipe for a Novel Whenever I Needed to Discuss Pressing Issues Or Strategy, by James W
    february Hello, I must be going! by Reed Farrel Coleman Hellos are always so much easier than goodbyes. And the fact that I am composing this farewell letter during the final week of my tenure isn’t making the task any easier. Between my duties at MWA, my career, and my family, this last year has been a bit of a blur and I am certain that after a few months to reflect on it, I will be better able to focus on the things that were accomplished, as opposed to missed opportunities. Having said that, I can assure you that the representatives you have elected as Board President, chapter presidents, and At-Large Directors — and the officers they, in turn, elect — care deeply about the organization and the individual members. Passion is probably not the first word to come to mind when you consider your elected representatives, but it should be. If you could see as I did how hard these folks work, the level of personal sacrifice they make in order to serve you, then you would share the same high level of confidence I have that Mystery Writers of America will continue to flourish. This commitment, at least during my term, started at the top. Although the presidency of MWA can be a figurehead 2006 Edgar Winner for Best Short Story James W. Hall with Twist Phelan position, Janet Evanovich rejected that notion right off the bat. In spite of releasing several books this year, she attended nearly every board meeting, made herself available to me Recipe for a novel whenever I needed to discuss pressing issues or strategy, By James W.

    February 20, 2005 NEW, PULP-RELATED BOOKS AND PERIODICALS AVAILABLE FROM MICHAEL CHOMKO, BOOKS for March 2005 Dear Pulp Fans, Next weekend, I have an exam to study for. So I decided to put out my flyer a week early. Wish me luck. I have about four weeks left of critical care nursing. The second half of the spring semester will be taken up with geriatric nursing. Then, come the middle of May, I’ll be finished with school. I also want to share some good news about my son, Peter. Many of you met him at last year’s Pulpcon. He was watching my table when I was away from it. Last Saturday, he received word from the Merit Scholarship Corporation that he had been selected as one of the finalists for a Merit Scholarship. He’s one of a little more than eight thousand in the country selected for this honor. So he’s in pretty elite company. Of course, I’m one proud papa. Before moving to the new books, I’d like to remind you of the particulars. I offer a discount of approximately 10% on orders over $20. The prices listed in my catalog are list prices (rounded to whole dollars). So your cost will be about 10% off the prices listed.

If you prefer UPS or priority mail, shipping will cost more. Shipping outside of the United States will also be more.

  • Leisure Reading Preferences of Bilingual Female Students in Singapore
    volume 27, issue 1, pages 1-12 (2017) Leisure Reading Preferences of Bilingual Female Students in Singapore Shaheen Majid Nanyang Technological University [email protected] Hazel Kai Jie Ng Raffles Girls School [email protected] Su Ying Raffles Girls School [email protected] ABSTRACT Background. Leisure reading is important for personal growth, enjoyment and relaxation. Objective. The study investigates the influence of bilingualism on the leisure reading habits and preferences of female teenage students in Singapore. Method. An online questionnaire was used to collect data and 464 students from two secondary schools that participated in this study. Results. It was found that irrespective of ethnic group, 93% of the students speak English at home, and also read leisure books in this language. For both English and mother tongue languages, the most favourite genres are fantasy, adventure, and romance, whereas the least preferred genres are sports, arts and craft, and biography. Students read English language books basically for enjoyment and relaxation, and mother tongue language books for study-related purposes. Contributions. The limited interest in mother tongue languages could be a matter of concern for education planners, curriculum designers, and authors of children’s literature. Appropriate measures are needed to encourage bilingual students to also read in their mother tongue language. INTRODUCTION Leisure reading plays a vital role in personality development and cognitive growth of children. It strengthens the thinking process and exposes readers to different perspectives and diverse viewpoints. Sustained reading can also improve students’ reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and appreciation for different writing styles.

  • The Stanley Wiater Modern Horror Archive
    The Stanley Wiater Modern Horror Archive Overview The Stanley Wiater archive of Modern Horror literature is likely the most comprehensive collection of materials documenting the field in existence. Mr. Wiater has been a writer, editor, anthologist, journalist, and collector in the field for over 40 years. He is a three-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award, given by the Horror Writers Association, and has become, over the years, a friend to virtually all of the writers and many of the filmmakers in the field. The Wiater archive is unique in that it has been assembled by an individual who is himself a contributor to the field and has spent decades making its writers and writings accessible to others, both within the field and outside of it. Mr. Wiater is widely considered the leading authority in the world on major horror writers and filmmakers. Modern Horror emerged as a field unto itself in the late 1960s-early 1970s, after previously being subsumed under the "fantasy and science fiction" umbrella. The leading writers in the field at that time — Ray Bradbury, Fritz Leiber, and others — were already well-known as fantasy or science fiction writers. In the 1970s, after the success of such mainstream movies as Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist, and with the sudden and unprecedented success of the horror novels of Stephen King — reportedly the bestselling novelist in the world — the field came into its own. Mr. Wiater began his book collection in the 1960s, and his first job as a journalist was interviewing Ray Bradbury. Bradbury's first book was originally published by Arkham House, the horror specialty publisher named after HP.
