It’s summer, the season of being lazy. Really, even that isn’t a good enough explination for the lack of updates on WN, but I’ll do my very best too see that it doesn’t happen again.
So, a quick overview of what’s happened since the last update:
- Well-known novelists Stephen King and John said they’re hoping J.K. Rowling doesn’t kill off Harry in the seventh and final book in her series. Read the story…
- Fantasy author David Gemmell died at the age of 57. Read the story…
- The Associated Press has a story suggesting that the craze for The Da Vinci Code (and similar novels released since) may finally be slowing down. Read the story…
There were some books released since the last update, too.
On July 25th: The Messenger by Daniel Silva, Dead Wrong by J.A. Jance, and The Expected One by Kathleen McGowan.
On July 31st: Judge & Jury by James Patterson and Andrew Gross.
On August 1st: The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters by Gordon Dahlquist.
