Novel Inspiration
Now here's an inspiration. Sue Grafton delivers a new novel to her publisher every August 15th. Amazing.
It's the birthday of crime novelist Sue Grafton, (books by this author) born in Louisville, Kentucky (1940). She had a very bitter custody battle with her ex-husband, and had a fantasy about poisoning him. She knew she would never do it, "so the next best thing was to put it in a book and get paid for it." The result was her first novel, A is for Alibi (1982). Since then, she's delivered a new mystery novel to her publisher every August 15-each one named for another letter of the alphabet. Her latest is O is for Outlaw (2001).
