Aha!

Author, TJ Waters, emailed to tell me two things...it's been really tough getting contractors down in Florida after the hurricanes and all to get his house built, but it's finally done. Second thing is that his nonfiction, Class 11, has a pub date of March, 2006. Class 11 is the story of the first CIA class formed after 9/11. Waters was in it, so he knows whereof he writes. I may perish before I get hands on Class 11 in March, 2006! The wait seems endless, but I'm damned if I won't get hold of that book one way or the other. Meanwhile, Waters is working on a novel. Just remember this truism: You can tell more truth in fiction than you can in nonfiction...and every writer knows it.

Woo-hoo!!! Now here is another novel just found in the latest Publishers Lunch list concerning those new US works that have sold to foreign publishers that I'm about to order up:

ForeignRights to Raymond Khoury's first novel, LAST TEMPLAR, a thriller about the hunt to find four horsemen dressed as Knights Templar, who storm the opening night of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and steal artifacts, including an arcane medieval decoder, to Rowohlt in Germany; Presses de la Cite in France; House of Books in Holland; Cicero in Denmark; Damm in Norway; Prisma in Sweden; Tammi in Finland; Ediouro in Brazil; Urano in Spain; Sonia Draga in Poland; Ucila in Slovenia; Livani in Greece; with auctions underway elsewhere, by the William Morris Agency.
