Chris Kelly: Glenn Beck's New Novel About Liberals Staging 9/11 Is a Lot Like a 2005 Novel About Conservatives Staging 9/11

Why -- except for the completely inverted politics -- does The Overton Window read so much like Circumference of Darkness, a pretty feeble self-published 2005 techno-thriller?

Interesting that Leather's book sales are attributed to a business model rather than to the writing itself. Perhaps I'm naive...but the quality of the writing should have been addressed in here somewhere. And by the way, Mr. Vine, Stieg does not have a problem - HE'S DECEASED. Having said that, I will try Leather's books...I was first introduced to Harry Potter at a library conference in the late 1990s. In a similar strategy, the first Potter book was given away free at the conference.

Check out Icelandic author Arnaldur Indridison sometime, too. Great mix of a chilling landscape, and detective and historical crime fiction. Brrrrr.

Hi. This is fantastic - we're hearing more and more great stories about eBook success through both the traditional and Indie platforms.

Just posted a new blog article. It's called 'The eBook Revolution - what does emerging technology mean for the writing and reading of literature'. Hopefully worth a look:
