Books & Authors - September 2006

I am an author and I was wondering why so many white females refuse to read "black fiction." My work is not "urban" shoot'em up bang-bang. My work is the reflection of the middle class American sprit. Yet, white females, will walk by my table at book fairs and wont turn or offer me a double take. I write for the world to read not just black females. So if you can explain why, I am open to read your reply.

Several years ago, I read a children or young adult book about two children, a boy and a girl, choosing five mythological characters to do a school report on. After they chose, these mythological figures (one of which was Baba Yaga) showed up, and they all were whisked off to fight off a bunch of aliens coming to invade the earth. One of the children also had a toy Tribble (from Star Trek) that came to life and multiplied. There was some discussion about the process of becoming a mythological figure, including a mention of Elvis Presley, I believe.

I have been searching on and off for this novel for a couple of years, and would appreciate any information anyone can give me about it, especcially a title or author, or both.

i am currently reading When the Wind Blows from James Patterson, i know that The Lake House is the sequeal for it. But my question is if the next several books (Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment and Maximum Ride: School's Out-Forever) are also a continuation of the story, or is a separate story with the same characters.
Any ideas??

When I was younger I had the pleasure of reading one of his books and I could not put it down . Especially because I could identify with his charectors.

My elderly neighbor was challenged by a gentleman friend to come up witha list of all the snakes with given names in literature. She was born in the Chinese year of the snake, which is the subject that led to this challenge. She can only think of the snake in the Jungle Book. I googled "Snakes with names in fiction", but it didn't look promising. I also tried wikipedia. No luck. If this doesn't work out, I'll try my local librarian in hopes of finding a pertinent reference book. Any suggestions on where and how to find the answer either online or in a book? Barbara has 10 days left to come up with the list. Many thanks.
