Best Sales Ranking so far for 'A Study in Red'

My novel 'A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper' today reached a position of 10, 754 in the Amazon.UK sales rankings. It's been doing well, but this is the first time it's reached quite such a high position. when taking into consideration all the books listed on Amazon this is a real achievement for my humble Ripper novel, and I'm surprised and delighted to see it doing so well against the masive competition that exists on the site. I'm sure it'll soon tumble down the rankings… Continue

Seeing the Other Side of the Coin via a Sixteen Year Old

Today my youngest looked over at me and asked me why I was different than other mothers. Curiously, I asked him in what way. He replied that I come up with some pretty strange and different stuff and he didn't know any other mother who would do that. I laughed and made a freakishly stupid face, almost automatically. He laughed too, and said, "yeah, stuff like that." (Or maybe he meant when he used to get off the bus and we'd run toward each other and belly bump. Or when we walked up the road… Continue

These Eyes

These Eyes

These eyes,

Watched as you scorned me,

Disrespected me,

And made me feel small.

These eyes,

Watched as you comparded me,

To other women and personalities,

You feel I don't process.

These eyes,

Cried every night,

While my heart sunk,

and burns from the pain.

These eyes,

Watched as you wickedly laugh at me.

With no feeling.

Of compassion within yourself.

These eyes,

Watch you beg and… Continue

NPR's All Thing's Considered

How The Civil Rights Movement Was Covered In Birmingham

There's a stark difference between how the national press covered the events of 1963 in Birmingham and how Birmingham's papers covered their own city. Audie Cornish talks with Alabama journalist Hank Klibanoff, co-author of The Race Beat, about the disparity.

House Passes Bill That Would Ban Abortions After 20 Weeks

The legislation is one of the most far-reaching abortion bills in decades and follows the May murder convictions of Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell. The bill, which would ban nearly all abortions starting 20 weeks after fertilization, is unlikely to ever become law.

Home-Schooled Students Fight To Play On Public School Teams

Roughly half of U.S. states have passed laws making home-schooled students eligible to play for their local school teams. But in Indiana, an attempt to find a middle ground hasn't calmed the debate.

Change Is On The Horizon For London's Famous Skyline

The city of London boasts centuries of architectural history. But a building boom is threatening the city's traditionally low-rise aesthetic and the views of some of that history. Critics — including UNESCO — are very worried about London's changing skyline.

A Look Back At How Newspapers Covered The Civil Rights Movement

This week Audie Cornish travels to Birmingham, Ala., to revisit some of the stories that shaped that city and the nation in the summer of 1963. Today she talks with Hank Klibanoff, co-author of The Race Beat about how the newspapers covered the civil rights struggle fifty years ago.

Patients Lead The Way As Medicine Grapples With Apps

Smartphone apps can help count calories or detect a heart attack. People are embracing them to manage many aspects of their health. But medical apps are largely unregulated now, so there's no easy way to be sure which ones are trustworthy and which ones aren't.

Mexico's Tech Startups Look To Overcome Barriers To Growth

In the past decade, Mexico's tech industry has flourished, growing three times faster than the global average. Most of that growth has been fueled by demand from the United States. But as Mexico's startups strive to make it in foreign markets, they say they need more engineers and ways to finance their growth.

Letters: Mozart's Violin And The Price Of Potatoes

Robert Siegel and Melissa Block read emails from listeners about Mozart's violin and the price of potatoes.

Congressman On NSA: Checks And Balances Prevent Abuse

Melissa Block talks to Republican Congressman Mac Thornberry, who serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He talks about the testimony by leaders of the National Security Agency, the Department of Justice and the FBI on Tuesday morning. He's been supportive of the NSA surveillance program, saying it's not only legal, but vital to security.

Brazilian Leaders Take Conciliatory Tone Toward Protesters

Protests have erupted in Brazil over the past week. On Monday, there were tens of thousands of demonstrators on the streets of cities across the country. And again on Tuesday, demonstrations have continued. Unlike in Turkey, Brazil's leaders are adopting a conciliatory tone.
