Volume 5, Issue 1. In This Issue:A Conversation With Rhys BowenThis month we had the pleasure of speaking with popular mystery novelist Rhys Bowen, author of the Constable Evans Evans mystery series, which are set in the fictional town of Llanfair in Wales. After achieving success and awards with over 100 published children's and young adult books for Bantam and other major publishers, Rhys turned to writing mystery novels. She spoke to us about her move from children's books to mystery novels and her beloved Wales, and gives some great advice for writers hoping to get that first book published. A Conversation With Skip Press Don't miss our conversation with popular screenwriter, author and teacher Skip Press, author of Writers Guide to Hollywood Producers, Directors and Screenwriting Agents, 1999-2000(Prima) and How To Write What You Want & Sell What You Write (Career Press), which was a finalist for Best Nonfiction Ebook for 2000 in the first annual Eppie Awards. Skip's new book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Screenwriting (Macmillan) has just been released. Skip talked with us about his new book, the worst mistakes aspiring screenwriters make, and how to use the Internet for maximum effect in your career. What's New On The Bookshelves?
