Here is an unpleasant fact of life: Death might be delayed but it is inevitable. And in early 14th century England, the spectre of death–in all its horrible, unpleasant, and mysterious forms–disrupts the pastoral peace in the pilgrimage city of Canterbury. That is the grim reality in The Waxman Murders, a newly published medieval mystery from Minotaur Books (appearing in bookstores on 7 December 2010).

Intricately woven with “broads strands of historical truth,” prolific author P.

Literary history, of a sort, will be made from August 17-25, 2010 as novelist W. John MacGregor leverages social networking platforms to post the events of his novel West of the Gospel to Twitter, Facebook, and a customized blog. The most intriguing aspect of MacGregor’s innovative project is that the fictional events in question took place 100 years ago in the context of Idaho’s “Big Burn.”

The seven-day event is designed to coincide with Centennial commemorations of the catastrophic 1910 hurricane-force forest fire that flattened and burned millions of acres in Montana and Idaho.
