I have no idea what it is called or who wrote it. It may be famous or no one else has heard of it. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world. Two teenaged have been underground ( I think) hiding. They have a baby which is born deformed because of the radiation. I can't remember anything else about it.Hope someone can help?

I've had that feeling too when my work colleagues are reading Marian Keyes, Sophie Kinsella, etc. and I'm engrossed in Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy. I get questions like 'what you reading that for, you at college or something?' I get the feeling they think I feel superior, which I don't. I never make any comment about their choice of reading material and each to their own. What do you think?

Reading is a very personal thing and one man's 'Booker winner' is another man's 'charity shop donation'. Apart from the social cachet of '....my book group is reading this....' and the chance to go from house to house to drink coffee/wine and eat canapes what is the point?? I'd much prefer to read undisturbed and enjoy (or otherwise) than sit in a circle discussing the finer points of an authors book. I'm prepared to be swayed-so please tell me what I'm missing.

But I am also looking forward to new novels by Fred Vargas, Arnaldur Indridason and Johan Theorin - 3 of my favourite crime novelists in one year to look forward to. In the meantime I have Henning Mankell and Camilla Lackberg to keep me going along with Jasper Fforde. A great year.

I can't shake them until I tell their stories, falling in love with them all along the way. My newest published book, "Sunny Days, Moonlit Nights" came to me while spending my summer writing in the country, wondering..."what if..." Many of my stories start with a "what if" in my head. Then my imagination kicks in and I'm off and running. So what if two people who were kids together every summer in the country reconnected twenty years later...and "Sunny Days, Moonlilt Nights" was born.

Here's the back cover copy of Dying for Justice:When Gina wakes up from a two-year coma, she realizes someone tried to kill her and make it look like suicide. Detective-in-training Lara Evans is assigned the case, but when she discovers who the main suspect is, she fears she's in way over her head. Meanwhile Detective Jackson learns the man in prison for murdering his parents is innocent of the crime and another officer coerced the detainee into a confession. As the two investigators work the cold files, members of their own department come under suspicion and their cases begin to overlap. Can they find the killers before the crimes of the past explode in the present?I hope you'll check it out.L.J.The Suicide Effect ($.99)The Sex Club ($.99)

You could stick a pole up his ar** and windsurf him down the Clyde.' I opened my packet of Marlboros and offered them towards him. `I gave up,' he said, taking one. Yeah, you and me both, I thought and struck my lighter. He coughed on the cigarette. `Is there anything we can do for him?' I shook my head. `No. But a blanket to cover him over would give him a bit of dignity.' He nodded approval as I pulled off one of the grubby sheets from the bed, and covered Tony over. `You're going to have to call the law, Jim,' I said. `Tony here didn't die from natural causes.' `No sh*t,' he said and we both gave nervous smiles.

First book in the saga is Gangland Empire The Beginning. Definitely worth downloading on kindle and printed edition coming soon. 2nd book in the saga due on kindle within 3 months and printed edition soon after. If you're interested in fictional novels dealing with London life on the wrong side of the law, and how quickly things change from being a crime firm to a crime family.

The great majority of self-published books are indeed "full of typos, poorly expressed and written, and just really, really bad." I addressed this issue in my blog post of March 12 at www.the-no-hoper.com/blog.html.Self-published trash gives everybody a bad name, and that isn't fair. What makes people think that formatting, spelling and punctuation don't matter? Years ago, an author who had used a vanity press (yes, I know, I know) said online that he was at first disappointed when he realised how many typos there were in his work; but then he thought what the hell - no reader bothers about a few misprints. Oh God.If your formatting's out, if your spelling's wonky, if your punctuation's uncertain, then do something about it. If Robsia's as good as she says, you could try her.

But now I'm in charge of it and have re-uploaded the book...but without any of its previous reviews.I'm not sure who reviewed it before, but I know there were some. If you're reading this can you let me know?ThanksStav.

Anyone have any ideas of books I may enjoy? Thanks for any suggestions!

I have shortlisted around six or seven contributions, and need another four or five to complete the book. If you have a title around 5,000 to 10,000 words suitable for an adult audience (sorry no erotica), then please feel free to drop me an e-mail on ianpaulyn att btinternet dott com (I have written my e-mail like this to prevent spammers). I can then give you more information. As a brief summary, I am an experienced book producer who will proofread and edit (if necessary) your work. I am looking for around ten authors and intend to share the revenue equally. All contributors keep their copyright. Feel free to post your questions here, or as I mentioned, send me an e-mail.Thanks for your time.Ian Paulyn

Although I enjoyed the mystery, I had the impression, that the translation was`nt very good. I have read ` A train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier` in german, which is very beautifully written. But the english translation is appalling (or should I say american translation). Does this put you off foreign fiction?

And we reader walk into a bookstore searching for our favourite authors because we know what to expect, right?How do you think about an author writing in many different genres? Would you be curious to read the new book, even if it's not what you're used to by the author or would you rather have the author have it published under a different name?
