Went to my writer's meeting. Grocery Store afterwards. Watched LSU struggle to win against Alabama. Wrote 2,054 words for NaNoWriMo. Their site is down so I can't post until tomorrow. :( Well, I guess I could stay up for two more hours but then I'd sleep through church.
Today I learned that those who speak the loudest (and the longest) actually know the least. Don't ask me where I learned that little tidbit. :( I won't tell. But I'll continue to remind myself to speak quietly and for…

A quick note to report 3,087 words today on my NaNoWriMo wip. I'm soooooo very proud of myself. Have to strut a lttle. :) Of course, tomorrow or the day after I'll probably be whining. I've learned three things about myself:
1) I spend way too much time in front of this computer -- surfing on the pretense of doing research.
2) I'm actually more creative sitting on the sofa, feet propped up on coffee table and laptop in position. I can actually write, be with hubby and watch TV.…

Hi, everyone. Today I posted November's WHAT'S NEW page on my website http://www.davidmorrell.net. This month, I'm delighted to announce that the classic TV series ROUTE 66 has finally been released on DVD. The scripts by Stirling Silliphant are the reason I became a writer. The series is the single greatest…

Hooray and halleluiah! My new book the BRIMSTONE MURDERS just popped up on Amazon. The book won’t be released until the first of February, but Amazon is accepting advance orders
and offering a nice discount, I might add. So, last night I sent emails to
family and friends, nice people who had previously expressed interest in my
books.…

Wheaton, IL–October 2007—Clues indicate that a dangerously disarming duo of authors is targeting Barnes & Noble stores in the Chicago area. Mystery fans should be on the lookout for Luisa Buehler, author of the Grace Marsden mystery series and her partner in crime, Robert Goldsborough, author of the Snap Malek mystery series. Reports indicate that this clever and entertaining pair are making appearances at a variety of events, bookstores,…

My interest in blending historical and fictional characters in a novel came with the reading of E.L. Doctorow's 1975 book Ragtime. In that panoramic story, which covered the first two decades of the 20th Century, Doctorow weaved a cornucopia of real people through his colorful tale.
Theodore Roosevelt, Booker T. Washington, Harry Houdini, J.P. Morgan, Henry Ford, Sigmund Freud, and famed architect Stanford White are among…

Sometime around early November, when the leaves are sailing down from the trees and the air grows nippy, I move my attention from the pleasures of the perennial gardens to the pleasures of the kitchen. In spring and summer, I'm so challenged by the job of balancing dedicated writing time with time spent gardening that I resent having to also keep house and prepare meals. This is when I entertain fantasies of…

Short post due to the fact that a Russian publisher has requested one of my MSs. It raises all sorts of questions, but right now I'm just concentrating on a timely and professional presentation.
One might wonder about Russians reading Elizabethan mysteries, but my experience has been that they (along with many other countries) have a much better grasp of world literature than most Americans. Russian exchange students I taught in high school had read more American lit than the vast…

Yesterday I mentally prepared for today. I could hardly wait until 12:01 AM so I could get started on my NaNoWriMo project. But leading up to midnight I watched two movies: Georgia Rules and Catch and Release. Not bad. At 12:01, I started typing. Two false starts that left me cold. (No, I didn't delete them but I did highlight them in yellow.) I put on my own copy of Must Love Dogs, and started writing again. Finally I found a beginning that satisfied me. My strength is dialogue. Once I put…
