![]() SO, ANNE HATHAWAY PLAYED THE ROLE OF PRINCESS MIA IN THE MOVIE VERSIONS OF THE PRINCESS DIARIES. ![]() ![]() And, of course, there's always a dance or prom or something - or fight with a ghost or evil corporation - to throw in. I had such an awful time in my own teen years - I love having the chance to relive them through my fiction. YOU'VE WRITTEN BOOKS IN SO MANY GENRES - WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE? Last month, my favorite book was Forever Princess, the last book in the Princess Diaries series, due out in January 2009. But I know as soon as I'm done with this book, I'll move on to something else. I think you get so wrapped up in the book you're currently writing, it's hard to think about anything else. So right now it's Being Nikki, the sequel to Airhead, due out in May 2009. ![]() I always love the book I'm writing at the moment. WHICH BOOK THAT YOU'VE WRITTEN IS YOUR FAVORITE, AND WHY?

The South has had more than its fair share of time in the crosshairs of Yankee propaganda, and one of the most well-known anti-Southern propagandists is James W. It’s a well-known word defined as “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.” And, I might add, used for the purpose of demonizing and destroying one’s enemies. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Time and genre intersect in a number of ways in the Heroides : the epistolarity of the poems insists that each is written at a specific point in time or “to the moment,” as Duncan Kennedy argues in the Heroides, this is often a point in time prior to the defining moment of that heroine’s mythology. As a collection of letters that take on the point of view of spurned mythological heroines writing to their former lovers, the poems purport to express the sadness, fear, and anger felt by the heroines from their own perspective-though, of course, the Heroides is the work of male poet Ovid. Ovid’s Heroides are fundamentally paradoxical.

Note the operative phrase: believe the myth. So why do publishers and many authors ignore men? It’s because they believe the myth that men don’t read, and especially don’t read fiction. Today they are all imprints or divisions of 5 mega-corporations. ![]() I remember when there were scores of publishing companies. Perhaps that’s why traditional publishing is constantly re-trenching and brick-and-mortar bookstores are in trouble. That doesn’t sound like a wise business strategy to me. Why write off half of the potential marketplace? So why the heck are publishers ignoring men? I noted in my previous post the publishing industry ignores men in favor of women, and by extension, so do authors.
