Question: I’m looking for a book called “Fiction”, can anyone help?
So this book I am looking for is titled “Fiction” and it is a book composed of short stories. The author’s name begins with a H.G, I think (Not H.G Wells). I was told the short stories were horror stories.
One of the stories is about a boy who lives in a very rural area and the boy is not very smart, but when he falls asleep, his dreams are very Intelligent.
I’m sorry if this sounds confusing but if anyone knows what book I’m talking about, can you tell me the author’s name?

Twilight. But that’s because I can only think of its polar opposite.
Question: Why do book stores need a section titled “Religious/Christian fiction”?

Question: Does anyone know of a good book ABOUT the “golden age of science fiction”?
I’m really into sci-fi books from the golden age era, from authors like Vonnegut, Heinlein, Asimov, and Bradbury. Does anyone know of a good book that is just about this whole era in literature?
I’d love to learn more about it all. Thanks!

Question: I am looking for a book. Can you help?
I do not know the name, only details of the book… It may sound stupid I am looking so hard for it, but to own it again holds great sentimental value to me. My grandmother gave me this book when I was 11 and it got me through years of hell with my abusive mother and after my grandma passed away 8 years ago, I lost the book and can not find it. Any who,
Any help would be appercaited, and Thank you ahead of time!
The book was about angels, a Hardcover picture had Cherub angels on the front and the book was filled with “non-fiction” short stories about guardian angels. I remember one story being about a mother who had to run back into her home for something leaving her 2 children in the car and a stranger appearing to stop the car as it rolled backwards down hill towards a lake and then the stranger disappeared. I cant recall any others but I would be so happy if someone could help me find this book or maybe remembers it from their childhood, it would mean alot to me. Thank you!

Hello, Nicole
I read your message and I couldn’t help but feel moved; so I gave up doing my english assignment and went for a bit of web-searching. Although I have not read the book you have described, I have found a possible match: it has a green cover (hardback) and has four cherubs peeking from behind the border of the image. It was published in 1996, so I guess it is of the right age.

Question: Need help publishing my first book?
Ok…
I’ve finished my first book, and the first question I have is in reference to category. It’s a short story, based on a real life experience I had, but some of the details (and names) have been altered a bit to avoid self-incrimination. I’m guessing “non-fiction” is ok?
My other questions are:
What are the steps to publishing?
Do I get the ISBN first?
Where do I get the ISBN?
What is a POD book?
Any suggestions or tips from people who have recently published a book?
I’m kind of nervous about the whole thing, but it’s a good book, and it’s dedicated to the homeless, so I am anxious to get it out.
Thanks for any & all help 
NOTE: My book has 11 chapters, with a total of 15,912 words.
Answer:
Answer by say ‘no’ to stop signs
If it’s a short story you won’t publish it as a book, you won’t need an agent, and there won’t be an ISBN.
Buy a copy of Writer’s Market and submit to the appropriate venue.
PS The second answerer is thinking of novels.

Question: I saw the movie, read the book, why is the Davinci Code so controversial?
I think too many religious zealots are showing their ignorance. I mean why this, why now? There have been many other books and movies that suggest alternative views to the origins of Christianity that claim to be “NON FICTION”. Davinci Code CLEARLY states, “This is a work of fiction”. Do schools no longer teach what the word “fiction” means anymore? I mean , it is sooo obvious the people condeming the book/movie have not read the book or seen the movie. It was an excellent movie. I never even noticed how long it was (about 2 1/2 hours), it was so good.
So, I am wondering if the Catholics are trying to bring more attention to the movie? Or do they REALLY have something to hide? I mean, afterall, it is fiction… so what are they so worried about?
Negative attention is better than no attention, right?
This is like free advertizing for them…
