Book Description
Taking for his title Samuel Johnson's observation that "no man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money," King describes his experiences as a freelance writer. He recounts the pleasures and perils of freelance journalism, from the euphoria of his first book contract to the misery of actually having to finish the book; and from his glorious days at Harper's to the desperation of pay-the-rent labor. In the section called "Random Jottings From a Writer's Notebook," he offers reflections on the private and public torments of a writer's life. He includes anecdotal meditations on plagiarism, writers' inhumanity to other writers, and the glimpsing of one's own doom in the fates of older literary heroes. ISBN 0-670-80928-4 : $17.95.

Book Description
In a world made for men, Susan Hyde is no ordinary woman. And no one would suspect that the sister of Edward Hyde, chief advisor to King in exile Charles Stuart, spends her time peddling state secrets and fomenting rebellion rather than on her tapestry. As a she-intelligencer – female spy – Susan’s mission is to extract information from Oliver Cromwell’s unsuspecting spymaster, by any means necessary. In a shadow-world of ciphers, surveillance, poison, seduction and duplicity, this daring spy will risk everything for king and country. Based on the astonishing true story of England’s earliest female spies, Killing Beauties will transport you to a seventeenth-century London rife with political intrigue, betrayal and conspiracy.
