Books & Authors - May 2007

I'm having trouble finding new, really good material. Some of my favorite authors include J.K. Rowling, David Eddings, Majorie B. Kellogg, Garth Nix, etc. Centered more towards adult, high fantasy preferably. Thanks!

I mean books that are written truthfully about the way teenagers behave, talk, and act when adults aren't around. Kind of like those movies Cruel Intentions, or American Pie. Basically, not sugar coated and unrealistic behavior that's just not true.

Alexander Pope's "Eloisa to Abelard" lines 207-210 are:

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;"

It's from my favorite movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and I want to know what this quote means.

I am interested in all kinds of books but I am aware that, to start, I should probably choose one focus/genre. But what about the equipment and the licensing, ISBN numbers and all that jazz?

I've read the Evanovich series up to number 12, which I loved! I just ordered "Plum Lovin'" and "Visions of Sugar Plums" and I was wondering where they fall in the series? Or if they do at all, I haven't received them yet. And also, are there any other books that are Stephanie Plum novels? I can't wait for number 13 to come out!!

In the fiction story Yearly Harvest, subtitled "The True Story of Christmas", a peculiar origin which I've never heard is given for the Christmas traditions. It is quite intricate, but I'll list a few items. One thing mentioned is that many of the traditions began in ancient days(Biblical times, about) among the Gentile or pagan cultures. There is one reference given from the Bible about them cutting down trees, decorating them with silver and gold, and worshipping them. In Yearly Harvest's background, the tree was meant to protect them from a demon called Balac, a servant of Molech. Molech was a god who demanded his followers to burn their babies/children in fire as a sacrifice. Balac, apparently, was one of his servants who went and gathered the children once a year on a certain day. Sounds WEIRD, I know, lol, but has anyone heard of this stuff before? There's no info on the website that I can find. http://yearlyharvest.tripod.com
Either way, I hope it's not true, lol!

My first novel, tentatively titled THE BROWN RECLUSE, is a story of international intrigue. Top level members of the People's Republic of China steal nuclear warheads and attempt to sell them to Iran. The Iranians agree to trade crude oil for the weapons.

The Israelis learn of the transaction and intervene. A good old boy from Texas and his New York model girlfriend become embroiled in the deal and are both earmarked for death.

THE BROWN RECLUSE is a beautiful Chinese assasin who becomes central to the plot.
