Re: What are the best spy fiction novels? (5 replies, posted in SPY FICTION)

Len Deighton and John Le Carre were super back in the day with their series of spy books. Graham Greene was another noted purveyor of the genre. Also, William F. Buckley. Those books took place during the Cold War, though, when spies were a popular subject. Now industrial and cyber spying seem to be popular subjects, though we still have the CIA doing its cloak-and-dagger thing vis-a-vis other countries. And vice versa!

Re: Big Spy, Little Spy (8 replies, posted in SPY FICTION)

I like the idea, Max. A guy/gal who loves the job of spying on employees for the boss because it's his/her natural bent. And this character takes it a step further by spying on employees when they're off work on his own time. And that's when he stumbles into the murder. There might be similar plots already out there in books or movies, though I can't think of one. But who cares? The same basic plots are reworked dozens of times.

How do they get off charging dues?! And what's the point of a local writer's group if you can't announce a writing accomplishment? Ditch that group forthwith. Jack

Hey, Tom. Getting old isn't for wimps, as my mother used to say. Maybe you could change your nom de plume to I. M. Young. Who knows what psychosomatic benefit that could give you!

Go to your Amazon author page and on the left side near the bottom you'll see a link to Author Central. From there you can edit the blurb or anything else on your author page you want.

Re: King Satin's Realm (12 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)

I made a number of changes to the blurb for Skeleton Run on Amazon, because the blurb the publisher insisted on when the book was released didn't sit right with me. The changes went through right away.

Congrats, Janet! I don't remember seeing this book posted on TNBW. At over 600 pages, it's quite a tome! But the summary hits all the right notes for potential buyers. (Check out that summary again and you'll see a typo that should be corrected.) Oh, and Happy Birthday! Jack
