...write romantic suspense novels under the pen name J.D. Robb. Why? Do you get a secret thrill out of it? -Clint Hues, Quinton, VA It's marketing. I write very quickly, and publishers can't publish just me-they want other authors too. So I agreed to try it if I could do something different. These books are edgier and much different from what I do under my own name, so putting it under a pseudonym helps brand it for the reader...
...your pen in the inkwell, the saying goes. Don't fish off the company pier, says another. The common wisdom is that office romance--usually furtive, often forbidden--can be career suicide. But these thoughtful authors make a persuasive case that it's smart for today's single co-workers to mix: "We think office romance has gotten a bad rap," Losee and Olen write.

In the titular role, Nicole Kidman plays a moderately successful author and mother of two who, along with her son (Zane Pais), returns to her childhood home where her younger sister is about...
...theirs and every other situation needing improvement. We must recognize and respect the limits of politics, which means accounting for our own limits—of time, resources, and moral fallibility. To do otherwise, to insist that we can save the world and right every evil whether by the pen or the sword, we set ourselves up for failure, radicalize politics, and, by leaving unrealistic expectations unrealized, engender bitterness and cynicism in politics. Politics is not a simple science. We would do well then to resist those ideologues who promise paradise through policies of greatest simplicity, ease, and comfort.To...
