![]() Total SurpriseĪnyway, there it was, an unexpected, unsolicited email from NetGalley with the subject line: “Read Nelson DeMille’s The Maze now.” I downloaded the review copy into my Kindle immediately. Regular consumers too can request books but are not always likely to be approved - like I was not several years back before my blog took off and before Fool Her Once was published. Then, out of the blue, I received an email from NetGalley, a service that provides advance digital review copies, aka galley proofs, from authors and publishers to bloggers and book reviewers. ![]() To say I was waiting impatiently would be an understatement. ![]() In The Maze, DeMille was expected to bring John Corey back to the North Fork. That thriller was set on the North Fork as is my own latest thriller, Fool Her Once. I’ve been waiting for it for a while since its protagonist is retired NYPD homicide detective, John Corey who was introduced to us in 1997 in DeMille’s bestseller, Plum Island. Titled The Maze, it’s scheduled for release in October. ![]() The most amazing mid-summer gift fell into my lap last week. ![]()

But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky 12-year-old Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the "steam" that children with the "shining" produce when they are slowly tortured to death. They look harmless - mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special 12-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.

PSHE lessons can be enhanced by fantastic books like Ish. A creative spirit learns that thinking ish-ly is far more wonderful than getting it right in this gentle. Reynolds is a superb illustrator with a wonky style that is pitch perfect to represent the budding artist Ramon and his reluctance to draw again. All it takes is one remark to dent someone’s belief in themselves. Leon is an older brother, a mocking older brother who decides to put a pin in Ramon’s balloon and deflate his artistic confidence. He fills his life with his artwork and snatches any moment he can to develop his craft. ![]() Ramon has the soul of an artist – always scribbling, always drawing, always being creative.

This cover image of Mann brings to mind her gorgeous yet controversial black and white photographs of her children in Immediate Family-naked water sprites from a lost, ahistorical Eden. She seems suspended outside of time, as if she could be from any decade: her hair, white T-shirt, and preppy plaid shorts belong as much to the first decade of the 21st century as to the middle of the last century. The cover photograph of Sally Mann’s memoir, Hold Still, shows the author as a prepubescent tomboy, airborne against a gray expanse of sky. ![]() ![]() This review is by contributor Thuy Dinh, editor of Da Mau Magazine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kuklin's important new book brings welcome clarity to a subject that has often been obscure and gives faces-literally and metaphorically-to a segment of the teen population that has too long been invisible.

I didn’t bring back postcards or foreign foods, and I’m not emailing a new European pen pal. I think it’s fairly obvious by my pasty skin that I didn’t go to the beach. ![]() The non-writers in my life would cock a brow if they knew how I spent valuable vacation days last week. Booking a retreat means giving yourself the gift of time-large blocks of it!-and shutting out the world.
