Honoré de Balzac Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
October 27, 2011
"Behind every great fortune there is a crime."
Honoré de Balzac (1799 – 1850)
Balzac is often considered the founder of European Realist Literature. His attention to detail and his multi-faceted characters have served as an inspiration to generations of writers, including Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Proust, Poe, Faulkner, Kerouac, and Calvino. His masterwork, Le Comédie Humaine, or The Human Comedy, is a series of sketches of all aspects of life, often presented minute by minute. Although a conservative royalist in his politics, Balzac understood the frustrations of the down-trodden and the revolutionaries in the great social upheavals of his later life.

The ePublishing Business is BOOMING! for Kat Valentine
Hi Joe,
This is an update on my continuing adventures in epublishing. Last month I told you about my novelette The Crazy Old Lady in the Attic becoming an Amazon Best Seller. It has now been in Amazon’s Top Twenty Best Sellers in both Psychological Thriller and Horror for a month and has been in the Top Ten quite frequently. It has sold over 2500 copies so far.
Since then I’ve published my first ghost story (for Halloween). It is a novelette, too, called Ghosts of a Beach Town in Winter and, though it has only been out for a week, has been an Amazon Top Fifty Seller in Ghost Stories. Feedback and reviews are encouraging.
So, as a thank you to my wonderful e-readers, I’ve created a free sampler book called Romance, Crime, Good Food: The Kathleen Valentine Sampler. It contains 4 complete short stories, 3 full chapters from my novels, 2 essays and 8 recipes from my cookbook/memoir about growing up Pennsylvania Dutch. It is currently free on Smashwords and will be on Kindle and Nook eventually (they take their time.)
Thanks for your encouragement and Happy eReading!
