Among Anne Perry's other novels featuring Thomas and Charlotte Pitt are The Whitechapel Conspiracy, Half Moon Street, Bedford Square, Brunswick Gardens, and Ashworth Hall. She also writes the popular novels featuring Victorian private investigator William Monk–among them, Funeral in Blue, Slaves of Obsession, The Twisted Root, A Breach of Promise, and The Silent Cry. "Her grasp of Victorian character and conscience still astonishes," said the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Hundreds of thousands of readers in Europe and America agree.

Andrew Gross (Signing here in Houston on March 20, purchases will be mailed ASAP after that date. |
You may have seen his name connected to JAMES PATTERSON as he co-authored 5 books, 2nd Chance, 3rd Degree, The Jester, Lifeguard, and Judge and Jury.
Gross says the joining James Patterson to co-author 5 books was a life altering opportunity and "it was like a combination MFA and MBA rolled into one. He knows what kind of stories he wants to tell, has a keen sense of what will appeal to his readers, especially women, what's vital in a scene for it to succeed, knows exactly when the scene needs more--or generally, less! And he's an even better editor than he is a writer. Hopefully, I've learned a few things from him along the way."

Andrew Gross has now authored two books on his own. The Blue Zone (2007)and Dark Tide (2008). I have read them both and am very excited about ths NEW author. Both are stand-alones and are non-stop thrillers. My recommendation is to get them both and hold on to them as they are sure to skyrocket in price besides being the best books I have read so far this year.

Pricing and Bookplates
Just like all collectables, hardcover
signed first edition books are valued according to condition, demand, and availability. When we list a book, we
research all online offerings and
generally price ours at the bottom of
the current listing's value.
As to
bookplates. I am a graphic artist and
design bookplates for over 100 authors.
After the author approves the design we
send them to author for their signature
and then use signed plates with the sale of
author's books. We use 2 in. by 4 in.
self-adhesive plates and adhere
them to the title page when space
allows. In the last year we have
been using plates that are transparent
so they blend into the page and
look really great.
You can see
samples of our plate designs ClickHere
