"I'm not a natural memoir writer," said Anne Rice. "I'm a natural fiction writer. In fiction you can resolve a lot of things, but writing a memoir is not like that. You churn up material and don't really resolve anything, so I'm very glad it's done." (Source)
Rice's memoir 'Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession' (Alfred A. Knopf, $24) shares her journey to her return to Catholicism.
TL Hines. Have you seen his pages?
My book fun buddy TL Hines is at it again. This time he and his fanbase are disassembling a single copy of his latest novel, 'The Unseen,' and hiding all 383 pages across the United States and Canada, hoping to connect with potential readers in unexpected settings. Bookmarks attached to the pages invite people to visit the author's website, tlhines.com, and leave a comment before placing the pages elsewhere for other people to find.
'Why? Well, a multitude of reasons, but foremost among them is: to have fun. Maybe sell a few books, maybe meet a few new people, maybe get a few unexpected surprises...but for me, that all comes under the category of having fun.
Hines is offering a prize to encourage people to leave a comment, then hide the page for others to find: the page receiving the most comments on the web site wins free signed copies of the author's first two books, 'Waking Lazarus' and 'The Dead Whisper On,' for every person who found it.
