...thriller writer, Karin Slaughter owned a sign company. Now she is an internationally bestselling author at the age of 34, with 5 million books in print. Slaughter's writing life is every author's dream, with a book contract in the high seven figures. Her latest novel, Faithless, is guaranteed to keep you nervously biting your nails, on the edge of your seat.

...election also featured a new grouping left of the SPD, succinctly titled the Left Party, which received nine percent of the vote, capitalizing on citizens economic insecurity.

A finalist for the 2003 Premio Fundación Lara, Spain's top literary prize, the book has become a cult classic. Carlos Clot, said El País, Spain's largest newspaper, is "the new Spanish antihero...
Bernard Berkman is an uncertain egotist. The author of several novels that beguiled the literati once upon a time, he now has no agent--so he feels he has to promote himself, even to his own family. (He refers to Kafka as "one of my predecessors.") The rest of his life is getting away from him too. His tennis game isn't what it used to be. His wife, restless in his shadow, has turned to writing and got a story in the New Yorker. She has also called off their marriage, leaving their two sons shuffling back and forth...
