I would love to widen this to include any great holiday reads — whether Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other holiday [...]

This is just one of those hypothetical scenarios, like something in a John Grisham book, with absolutely no connection to anyone in real life, of course. But, just for the sake of argument, what would happen if someone won election to a position he couldn’t legally hold? Say, President of the United States. When would legal measures catch [...]

Maybe it’s different where you’re from, but in West Virginia, the just-past general election cycle and the one before it were noted for concerted efforts by out-of-state corporate behemoths to purchase seats on the State Supreme Court and in the Attorney General’s office. Call me bitter, but when your state’s judicial [...]

Roanoke Times - “There are mindless games, to be sure, but that is true of any medium. The works of Stephen King and John Grisham remain on library shelves, as they should. Sometimes people just want to relax and enjoy.”

We're off to see the Wizard... oh, you know the words. At what point do we stop believing in fairy-tales? How old are we when we no longer care about fantastic adventures? It's not like we realize that animals can't talk, suddenly feel betrayed, and start reading John Grisham novels. Besides, there is no shortage of escapism in "adult' books," so don't tell me it's that....

Let's put that hoverboard idea on hold, Santa. What I want for Christmas is a first edition novel of a legendary Mississippian. No, not William Faulkner. Not Willie Morris. Not John Grisham. Not Greg Iles. I'm talking about Pete Boone. I may be the last to learn this, but Ole Miss Athletic Director Pete Boone has supposedly published a suspense novel, "The Perfect Plan." Gray Hardison provides details:...

Sure, J.K. Rowling, John Grisham and Seth Godin have it in the bag. They release a book...and voila, the audience is there. But for most authors, especially non-fiction authors, the road is a bit more rocky. They usually don't have a ton of support from their publishers (if they aren't self-published), they're most likely still working a day job and odds are, they aren't loaded. So how do they get...
