 interviews & new releases booksThere just seemed to be a market for fiction centered on a city. A good example is Shadow of the Wind by Zafrón.

See, I’m normal, just like everyone [...] interviews & new releasesMike Harling loves to write. He is an American who ended up on the other side of the pond because he fell for a Scottish woman.

That a second edition will be out any day now is testament to the fact that how to books are popular. [...] expatriate stuffI only met Linda six month ago and in that time she has learned to write articles, blogs, books and life story. She grabbed her goals by the scruff of the neck and and went for it, blogging 5-7 times a week, getting articles placed worldwide and she is now working on a couple of books. Linda is a role model for any new writer out there who doubts they can do really do it.
