I heard this book written by the man who ran the Beatles recording studio Apple ticked off Paul and Linda. He wrote some bad stuff about them and Linda commented in playboy that she burned the copy he sent. Linda said he betrayed a trust. Has anyone read this book?

I'm wanting to write a story about a retired police detective remembering the serial killer that made his career. I want the serial killer to have a cool nickname like The Zodiac Killer, Son of Sam, Jack The Ripper, The Nightstalker, etc. I can't think of anything cool yet so your help would be much appreciated.

And yes, there is a best answer to this for those of you who have ever taken a philosophy course in your life. I'm looking for the more paradoxical approach to this.

Does anyone remember a novel from the 1960s, written by a group of English writers who sat down one evening to write a definitive novel without any literary merit. They wrote a chapter each and to their surprise, their joke became a best seller.

I'd be glad to get the title and any other detail. The content was considered very daring at the time(!)

Thanks

What "clues" from previous HP books (maybe some we've overlooked) will be pertinent to this one? For instance, there've been questions on here about what objects Voldemort put his "soul" into. What other clues from 1 - 6 will pop up here? And how will they be important?

Examples: the mirror from book 5; the memory thing in Dumbledore's office, etc.

All speculations welcome!

Seriously, people never stop and think about that. Never! If you try, people will police you into "getting on with it"...But is it worth it? Is there a point? Animals have an instinct to survive and reproduce, but they aren't aware of their pending death.
Humans are, so shouldn't we at least talk about it more and maybe make it a priority??

My husband and I have 5 children. Four are from his previous marriage, one we had together. I work, he stays at home with our two year old son. I am the financial bread winner. My oldest childrens mom lives 3 states away and rarely sends child support. We take the kids to visit her over holidays. Every time our children return they are angry with her for many things, namely now, not returning to live close by after living where shes been for the past 9 months. She was an acoloholic, severely depressed. She moved away to live with her mom and get her life together.

I am in great distress about what to do because a., i am fine being financially responisble for my own family, but I am forced to feel financially responsisble for her as well. b., i watch this woman on a regular basis hurt my family. she doesnt call when she says she will, she lied to them (and us) about returning and she thinks she entitled because she gave birth to them.

My husband and I struggle with this

This applies to the DELUXE American version, not the ordinary one.

It’s about a boy named Evan who is 12 yrs old. He lives in New York with his mom and dad. His Uncle Zechariah (not Zachariah) is sick. He’s going to go care for him and on the way he gets ship wrecked. Would you like a passage of it? I don’t really need any tips but they are always welcome.

Without anyone telling me to look in resolved questions or buy the 2007 guide to literary agents (which i have on order), I want to know anyone knows of an agent that will only try to sell your work to the top 5 publishers.

Im interested in getting my book published but I will self-publish before i go with anyone other than the top 5.

To tell the truth, I would rather self-publish, but I am getting pressure from family to at least submit my work to some publishers.
