Task 11 Author Resources on the Web
On bookreporter.com, I chose Anne Rice under Author Talk. Her latest release, "Angel Time", was discussed in the interview. "Angel Time" is the first book in the series, "Songs For the Seraphim". The story takes place in 1300 A.D. The Middle Ages is one of my favorite historical time periods, so I was intrigued by the time.
When asked about turning to the angle theme after her vampire theme so popular now, she said that she wants to present the other side, the good side, and brings Christ the Lord in to narrate the book.
Because I like Mysteries, I looked at looked at "The Likeness" by Tana French. A summary of the book sounded very intriguing to me. Detective Cassie Maddox is called in to the crime scene of a murdered young woman. The woman's ID reads Lexie Madison which is the name Cassie used years ago as an undercover detective. Also, the dead woman looks exactly like Cassie. With that lead in, who could resist reading the rest of the story?
I plan to go back to Graphic Novel Reporter to learn more about the popular genre and also Kidsreads and Teen Reads to become more familiar with what young folks are interested in today.

And burbled as it came!"...
