Maybe I didn't read the cover blurb closely enough. I just saw the names of some favorite authors and how they 'cope with the perplexing world and what keeps them up at night.' What I got were those same authors, and more, telling some of their most personal stories and how those stories made them into the writers they have become. Well done, intriguing and worth a read (or two). ( ) Review of uncorrected page proofs In this anthology, twenty authors bring their own real-life mysteries and secrets to the written page. From heartwarming to captivating to heartbreaking, all offer insight into the thoughts of those who pen tales of mystery and intrigue for the enjoyment of readers everywhere. Each writer offers thoughtful contemplation and commentary, some on the mystery and magic that is writing while others address the intricacies encountered along the road to publishing success. Still others offer heartbreaking accounts of child abuse or war or puzzling health issues. There are stories about a haunted apartment, a ghostly visitation, a stalker, a mystery child in a photograph as well as musings on the mysteries and surprises of motherhood, expectations, and relationships. As a collective, the authors offer thought-provoking commentary on writing, on mystery, on life. Although a varied collection, readers will find much to ponder in each of these insightful and interesting contemplations. Authors included: Tasha Alexander, Cara Black, Rhys Bowen, Lynn Cahoon, Steph Cha, Jeffrey Deaver, Carole Nelson Douglas, Robert Dugoni, Hallie Ephron, Connie May Fowler, Sulari Gentill, Rachel Howzell Hall, Ausma Zehanat Khan, William Kent Krueger, Caroline Leavitt, Kristen Lepionka, Martin Limón, Anne Perry, Charles Todd, and Jacqueline Winspear Highly recommended.

Caroline Leavitt regales us with a medical mystery, a time when she lost her voice and doctors couldn't find a cure; Martin Limon travels back to his military stint in Korea to grapple with the chaos of war; Anne Perry ponders the magical powers of stories conjured from writers' imaginations, and more"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
