<p>I’m seeking new true-crime stories for an anthology I’m editing for an American publisher. I’d especially like to see stories featuring serial killers from locations outside of the United States.

<p>I just saw the US version yesterday. I liked the actors and the acting was fine, but in some places it seemed rushed, and the ending was not clear at all (regarding Harriet). Any thoughts?</p>

I must confess, I've enjoyed following the Castle television series, and watching some of the cameo appearances of other well-known, well-liked authors. However, when they published the Castle book series and the actor started signing books, I started thinking ...huh? I mean, I know they're doing it for PR and it really worked for them. Look at the NYT ratings, not to mention the boost in television ratings. But they used a ghost writer to put these novels together, and I really would like to…

Look at the NYT ratings, not to mention the boost in television ratings. But they used a ghost writer to put these novels together, and I really would like to find out who that is. Anyone have the scoop on this writer? The person should get some recognition, don't you think? Everyone else is taking a bow.

<p>We'll know by July 21 whether or not Borders will stay in business or be liquidated. If Borders disappears, will Barnes & Noble soon be next? And then what happens to the print publishing industry and authors with no major retailers to sell their books? Thoughts? Reactions?</p>
