Books & Authors - August 2007

Okay I have been planning to write a book on a biracial child. I actually started in around the fifth or sixth grade then i stopped because i did not have time and i did not think i could truly depict a biracial child. The book was not supposed to revolve around race, but i believed i would automatically have a biased or untrue perspective being that i am not biracial. I hope don't sound like an idiot. But can i just write a book about a biracial without having to do research or interviews. Biracial children are the same as other children. Everyone shares similiar experience but why do i have to do research?

I've brainstormed a little. This topic seems to keep popping into my mind. I don't have any names planned yet so....
There is this girl that plays soccer. She likes this guy that is in most of her classes in school but hasn't told him her feelings yet. This girl is out on her first soccer game, where she comes up to head the ball, but the player competing against her pushes her out of the way. She falls to the ground hard on her head. She is rushed to a hospital, where a surgery is performed on her skull. All of her memories, except soccer and that one guy she likes, are gone. Over a television network to the school, she tells the words I really like you to that guy she likes. This guy is suddenly touched about this, where they meet and they have a relationship together.
Say your opinions, and as I said, I have no names yet, so sorry if this sounds a bit odd to repeat things (if you'd like, you can give character name suggestions).

And he tortures them before killing them, rapes them, kills tortures and rape kids in front of other kids who know taht they will have the same fate, and at one point a kid escapes (then he dosent kill the guy, he is just gone), and another point he gets a disabled kid who is of no use to him then he just buries the kid alive, and i go into detail about the torture methods he uses, and in the end he sell the body parts to black markets.


Would what be a good idea for a first book?

1. So Harry's invisibility cloak is a deathly hallow. So why is there more than one invisibility cloak? Barty Crouch had one and so did Mad Eye.

2. Hermione said that no one knows what a boggart looks like because its a shape shifter. Wouldn't Mad Eye be able to tell people what it really looks like since e can see through things?

Its about a college girl who starts having these dreams about her ex boyfriend, boyfriend and guy friends. The dreams are if she marries him and spent the rest of her life with the guy. While shes having these dreams, shes trying to deal with a long distance relationship and her parents' divorce along with her brothers moving in with her.
So I'm looking for a title possibly with dreaming in it. If it helps, the main character is Diana Amati

I got into an argument with my friend, she thinks that Draco is an idiot but i disagree
Alright, this is the deal...
Draco Malfoy is hated by the trio and for good reasons.
What vexes me so much is when people call Draco an idiot.
Draco is shown that he is a smart student.
1. he managed to fix the vanishing cabinet
2. he can produce protean charm (hermione did that for the DA and was praised for because it was Newt level)
3. in the 6th book he was in all the class harry was in. (newt level)
4. He is a good seeker, he only lost to Harry

he is not a idiot but i know he is a git but that can't be helped since he was raised that way and i also don't think that Draco and his father had a bad relationship. He cares for Draco as shown in the end of the 7th book.
Anyways what do you guys think, is Draco a smart student or not? also you can give me more evidence to prove that he is smart

I am looking for an intense intimate novel.

One that is based on the time period of the 21st century and one that is as real as possible..a man and woman love story. Nothing western or in the days of kings and queens...or nothing like pochahontas.

I want to start my own novel, but I dont really have a specific plot /genre. I want to write sometihng in "literary fiction". I am having trouble with starting to write my first draft since I am totally new to this land. If you've wanted to write a novel, tell me, about what? How you were planning to play with characters and the main story line. I just need a simple idea/.motivation to begin with. Right now, everything seems so huge.

I'm 20, married, Indian, computer science student.
