So, jetzt muss ich aber los, muss morgen früh raus *Augenroll*

Klar hab ich Lieblingsautoren, aber meistens sprengt die Anzahl einfach den Platz, den man für solche Angaben hat ;-)
Ein klassisches Beispiel wäre wohl Dame Agatha, aber sonst: Lee Harris, Laura Childs, Jeffery Deaver, Rhys Bowen, Elizabeth Peters, Harlan Coben, Shakespeare, Tess Gerritsen und und und ;-)
Du hast da übrigens ein paar tolle Serien angegeben :-)
LG, Kathrin

If not, may I suggest a geography book...lol
That's ok...I don't mind :)

It's great to meet new people who shared a love of reading. Especially those who enjoy the same genre.
Welcome!

At 12:07am on November 29, 2007, Kathryn Lilley said…: Hi Jur, normally people overseas can order DYING TO BE THIN from an online vendor such as Amazon. But I'm actually going to ask someone whether it's available in bookstores anywhere outside the US. As the author, I should really know these things, lol! In addition to writing the Fat City Mysteries, I'm also working on a very dark thriller. Hopefully that one will be published someday, as well.

At 10:32pm on November 28, 2007, Kathryn Lilley said…: Hi Jan! Thanks for your comments! In terms of widening a story, I think what is meant is widening the scope of the story. That is, make its world bigger, the stakes higher, the tension greater. For you as a reader, I think that would have the net effect of making the book a more exciting and thrilling read. And you're absolutely right that the discussion of "widening" is technical, in the sense that it is a technique that authors can employ to create a certain effect in a book.With any luck, the reader is never aware of all these technical machinations behind the curtain--all they see is the Magnificent Oz!
