Introducing ‘Book Bits’ featuring links for writers

On By Malcolm R. CampbellIn writing2 Comments

Book Bits is my new blog of writers’ links. Here you’ll find information about reviews, new titles, author interviews quotations, and book news. I invite you to stop by, skim through the offerings and click on a few links such as:

  • News: Harlan Ellison Would Kill Timberlake Film – “Harlan Ellison, filed a copyright suit last week that alleges that a new film borrows heavily from his 1965 short story” See the book’s listing on Amazon here.
  • Quote: “Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.” — P. J. O’Rourke
  • Viewpoint: Coming to a Bookstore Near You.  Maybe. – Thoughts about others telling us what to read as Banned Book Week  approaches.

I see these kinds of links every day and thought it would be fun to start sharing them.

Coming Attractions: Author Beth Sorenson (Divorcing a Dead Man) will contribute a guest post here on September 28 and L. E. Harvey (Impeccable) will be here on her birthday September 30.

You May Also Like: Now I can finish ‘The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant’ – I stopped reading my favorite fantasy series years ago because I thought it might incluence my work on my novel The Sun Singer.
