The Original Gone Girl: Did Agatha Christie Try to Frame Her Cheating Husband for Murder?
It has been nearly 50 years since Agatha Christie’s death, but the “Queen of Crime” remains the best-selling novelist in history. Only the Bible and Shakespeare’s works have sold more copies than her books and her legacy shows no signs of fading.
Bronx Author Tells Stories about his Life and Love for Animals
Maurice McFadden(Instagram) Authors face many different issues, especially writers of color. There is a shortage of representation regarding staffing at many famous publishing houses. Self-publishing has been a way for authors to get seen and heard without the support of major publishing companies.
To write a book, pull your heart out of your chest.
I had to write this book. That was my truth. Last year, I published my first book of poetry. I worked on it during the most trying time of my life, but it was worth stressing over. That was right after I had a major surgery which I candidly wrote about here.

He rarely gives interviews (unless it is a rare one-off interview with Oprah as featured below) or does much press. He really only writes and mostly keeps to himself. It has also been over sixteen years since his last novel, The Road, which was also made into a movie. Today Cormac McCarthy’s publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, announced that the long awaited follow-up has finally been confirmed. McCarthy is releasing not one, but two novels this year.

Featuring Author Neal Lemery
I met Neal Lemery a few years back through a mutual friend. She recommended that I connect with Neal and hear his stories for the book I was writing about Addictions. Neal is a retired judge, he was a district attorney, he is currently living in Tillamook, Oregon. I first met Neal Lemery in a coffee shop in Seaside Oregon. The coffee shop was noisy, and we decided to move into a local library. It was a simple act, and they already knew that he's a kindhearted man. This was the first place where I saw Neal’s kindness. He gave one of his books to the library. We talked for hours and Neal. Time stopped. In total, we talked about 3-4 hours that day. I was listening with amazement. During our conversation Neal told me about his life, people he had seen through the courtroom, a young man he's been mentoring who had a hard time in life and got into trouble because of using drugs or alcohol.
