Book Description
A humorous romantic mystery! Words can hurt… The town of Mojo is still reeling from the fallout of the dark shenanigans at the Instruments of Death and Voodoo Museum. One woman, Sheena Linder, is determined to rehab the town's reputation and her own reputation (as the town skank) by bringing a film crew to Mojo to tell the real story as told to her by her sister. Sheena has always kept a diary, so writing a screenplay can't be much different… right? And sometimes kill. The frustrated movie studio sends a script doctor to help Sheena. To her irritation, he's the biggest nerd ever and seems immune to her feminine charm. But the handsome egghead is starting to grow on her—especially when a new voodoo doll shows up and Sheena discovers a body… and all fingers point to her as the murderer. Will she live long enough to write her own happy ending? If you're looking for a book to make you laugh and sigh, check out VOODOO DIARIES! ___________________ The Mojo, Louisiana Humorous Mystery series so far: IN DEEP VOODOO VOODOO OR DIE VOODOO DIARIES

Book Description
There's a strong interest in reading for pleasure or self-improvement in America, as shown by the popularity of Harry Potter, and book clubs, including Oprah Winfrey's. Although recent government reports show a decline in recreational reading, the same reports show a strong correlation between interest in reading and academic acheivement. This set provides a snapshot of the current state of popular American literature, including various types and genres. The volume presents alphabetically arranged entries on more than 70 diverse literary categories, such as cyberpunk, fantasy literature, flash fiction, GLBTQ literature, graphic novels, manga and anime, and zines. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and provides a definition of the genre, an overview of its history, a look at trends and themes, a discussion of how the literary form engages contemporary issues, a review of the genre's reception, a discussion of authors and works, and suggestions for further reading. Sidebars provide fascinating details, and the set closes with a selected, general bibliography. Reading in America for pleasure and knowledge continues to be popular, even while other media compete for attention. While students continue to read many of the standard classics, new genres have emerged. These have captured the attention of general readers and are also playing a critical role in the language arts classroom. This book maps the state of popular literature and reading in America today, including the growth of new genres, such as cyberpunk, zines, flash fiction, GLBTQ literature, and other topics.
