کتاب Your 15 Minutes اثر Veda Boyd Jones زبان اصلی

At the 130-year-old mansion in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, nine writers have checked into the writers’ colony for a two-week stay. Among them are a romance author of 50 books, a recent MFA grad, a sitcom actor, and the former secretary of the treasury. This is not the quiet retreat they expected. They will bond as a strange family, influencing each other in odd ways, and one will die tragically before the two weeks are up.

With this behind-the-scenes look at a writers’ retreat, readers will consider the desire for fame and love, the way it grows and the way it withers, the risks and the rewards. Two characters are starting the love process, and two characters show, conversely, the strength and fragility of marriage.

About the author

Veda Boyd Jones is the author of 47 books with traditional publishers, some for adult markets, most for children. Publishers include Scholastic, Barbour, McGraw-Hill, Lerner, Lucent, Chelsea House, Wendy Pye, Avalon, and Seedling. In addition, she’s had over 700 short stories or articles published in magazines (Woman’s World, The Writer, Harris’ Farmer’s Almanac, Highlights, Cricket, Humpty Dumpty and many others). Now she’s ventured into the e-world with Joe’s Ghost, That Sunday Afternoon, The Cowboy’s Christmas Secret and other books on Kindle. She says, “I am never bored when waiting in a doctor’s or dentist’s office, since I just turn on my imagination and invent characters to go along with the people sitting in chairs around me. But that’s when I’m thinking of fiction. I write a good deal of nonfiction for children. This is an entirely different way of writing. Ninety percent of my time is spent researching and documenting facts. Kids believe what they see in print, and my job is to make sure it is accurate.”
