Today is the 5th edition of author love. Sorry to be so late posting it, but I had some technical issues. They are resolved (obviously) so please enjoy. I hope you find something interesting and helpful!

Book Intros

• P presents Fave Authors: Patricia Cornwell ? The Kay Scarpetta Series posted at Book of Randomness.
• Richard Shelmerdine presents Taoism 30 day experiment posted at Richard Shelmerdine.
• Kathryn presents Book for Memoir Writers: Fearless Confessions posted at Real Words, saying, "Info on a book about memoir writing from an author with two memoirs under her belt."
• Jim Murdoch presents Son of So who in their right mind writes a sequel? posted at The Truth About Lies, saying, "Scottish author Jim Murdoch introduces his new book 'Stranger than Fiction' in which the hero of his first novel is once again pitted against the personification of truth. So much was revealed to him in the first novel that you would think he had nothing more to worry about. Far from it. For anyone who appreciates the humour of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams this is worth checking out."

Book Reviews

• Jim Murdoch presents Personal Velocity posted at The Truth About Lies, saying, "This is a review of both the book and the film 'Personal Velocity' by Rebecca Miller (author of 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee'). The book deals with seven women all at critical junctures in their lives; the film only has only time for three. How do we choose? Why do we choose? How much is choice really our choice and how much is it being affected by our parents, our personal histories or even history on a larger scale? An excellent read and the most faithful of film adaptations."
• Surbhi Bhatia presents The Notebook posted at The Viewspaper » The Viewspaper.
• Jim Murdoch presents Time Out of Joint posted at The Truth About Lies, saying, "Everyone knows 'The Matrix' and 'The Truman Show' but would we have had either without Philip K Dick's early novel 'Time Out of Joint'? Set in an unnamed American city in 1959 it tells the story of Ragle Gumm whose world starts to dissolve before his very eyes both metaphorically and literally. Is he crazy? Yes. And the fate of mankind rests on him staying so. If you only know 'Blade Runner' and 'Total Recall' this is one to check out."
• The Smarter Wallet presents Women and Money By Suze Orman, A Book Review posted at The Smarter Wallet, saying, "Thanks!"
• Silicon Valley Blogger presents Have No Estate Plan? Try This Guide to Wills and Trusts posted at The Digerati Life, saying, "this is a book review of the book "A Parent's Guide To Wills & Trusts"."
• Kakie presents QUICK! 15 books that will always stick with you posted at Bur Bur & Friends: Community Park, saying, "Don't take to long to think about it, the first 15 books that come to mind!"

Ebooks

• Eldon Sarte presents Teachpreneur: Basic Overview and Product Development posted at Wordpreneur.com, saying, "The first of my many "how to" and "why" notes on various ebook publishing projects."
• Susan White presents 100 Best Book Blogs for History Buffs posted at Online School.
• Barbara Williams presents 100 Terrific Tips & Tools for Blogging Librarians posted at Online College.org.

How-Tos

• jdou presents Teach this! How to revolutionize Lit posted at A Revolution in Fiction, saying, "How to inspire the younger generation to embrace our passion for literature: ideas borrowed from art and fiction (e.g. Jincy Willett's fabulous novel, _The Writing Class_)."
