Typically when a flight gets delayed I go crazy. Last week I flew back from Dallas via Chicago and got caught in a thunderstorm delay leaving Midway that slowed everything down. (Of course, I knew in advance that the flight I was booked on was only on time 30% of the time, which was just oh so cheery news.) Thanks to Nelson DeMille, instead of tapping my toe, I turned pages. I had an advanced reader copy of his new one, NIGHT FALL. It has a great plot, killer pacing and a return of John Corey who readers will remember from PLUM ISLAND and THE GOLD COAST. The story opens on July 17, 1996, the night Flight 800 went down and explores some theories of what caused this crash. Mark your calendars now: NIGHT FALL hits stores on November 16th. Hope you find a good book to escape with the next time you get delayed.
August 2004My older son inspired our September Tip of the Month. As I looked at his summer reading list I remembered many of the titles on it and reflected on when I had read in high school. I thought how interesting it would be to read those books now with my peers and talk about them. So for September, why not revisit a title from your school days with your group? Does your group read books of short stories?August 1, 2004, 217 voters July 30, 2004Yee haw...I am writing this note from Texas where I am at the Romance Writers of America Convention. Last time I was in Texas I went to Houston where in between doing fashion shows, I went to the rodeo. I kid you not, and I have the cattlehorns in my son's bedroom to prove it. I was reading the guide from the hotel here last night and learned that in the evenings cowboy hats, boots and spurs are optional. I liked the sound of that! Fashion question: Does one buy a cowboy hat to match an outfit, or is this not necessary?
