new books to read!

Check out the typelist to your left for the books I'll be reading over the next month for research. (This is the fun part. And the good, breathing in of real books part.)

Hi Lisa---

I've just got to ask...what's the connection between the Nancy Mitford books and KINGDOM COME? I've seen these books before and thought they'd be good reads, but wonder how they fit in the scheme of things because their descriptions seem so FAR from what you're writing about.

BTW, is your novel set in the present or at some time in the past?

With love,
Elysa
WHO ADORES YOUR BOOKS and can't WAIT for a NEW ONE!!!;)

Nancy Mitford books are for the outside narrator angle! Thanks Elysa!

It's going to be set in the present or recent past. Still not sure yet.

Ahh-h-h-hh...now I understand. :) Thanks for satifying my nosey, er, I mean intellectually curious mind. ;)

I just finished listening to a CD version of Coal Run by Tawni O'Dell while on a road trip. I'm sure you have more than enough books to read, but I thought of your current book in progress when I read it. It's set in PA and deals with a deep mining tragedy and the aftermath, but the way she intertwined the place and the profession of coal mining with the people's lives was haunting...
