Strings on a Shadow Puppet: The Art of a Book Cover
I have long said that, initially, the cover art for a novel is more important to a novel’s success than the writing itself.[1] We may all say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” but if we are honest, we … Continue reading

Adventures in Time and Space with Max Merriwell was a fun read that ties together other books by the same author under different pen-names.

The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafón [Translation: Lucia Graves] (Orion Books, 2004)
Part mystery, part romance, part literary fiction The Shadow of the Wind is thrilling, gripping and touching in a way that I can only dream of writing. The language used is delicate, precise and flowing (both in the original Spanish and in it’s marvelous English translation).

It is a complex story, but an easy read. I highly recommend that you buy the book and become enchanted.
