I'm a sucker for books on the writing life. In fact, I've picked one up yesterday called The Complete Handbook of Novel Writing, which I think anyone writing fiction would find of interest (even if you don't have any intention of writing a novel). It's edited by Meg Leder, Jeff Heffron, and the editors of Write's Digest but it includes interviews with and articles by Margaret Atwood, Terry Brooks, Tom Clancy, Terry McMillan, Sue Grafton, and one or two other people you might have heard of. You might look for it at your library or take a glimpse at it at your local bookstore. I've got three more on order that I am looking forward to getting next week: Crime Writer's Reference Guide: 1001 Tips on Writing the Perfect Murder by Martin Roth How to Write Killer Fiction: The Funhouse of Mystery & the Roller Coaster of Suspense by Carolyn Wheat Dark Thoughts: On Writing: Advice and Commentary from Fifty Masters of Fear and Suspense by Stan Wiater (Editor), Stanley Wiater (Editor) Yes, I have a weakness for a certain kind of writing about writing. No accounting for taste. Anyone else read any books on writing that they would like to share with the rest of us.
