What book has changed your life the most? How did it affect your way of life and your perspectives?
Q. Many people claim that books have changed their lives. For you, what was the book that you fully read and understood and noticed that it had an effect on your life? What book made you want to change for the better? What book made you realize the meaning of life? What book changed you as a whole?

A. I don't think there is a master narrative that told me how and why to live. However, books seem to help me on my way wherever I go. For instance, Rebbeca by Daphne DuMaurier made me love the classics. Sula by Toni Morrison made me appreciate my mother. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen made me understand my father. A love for the Harry Potter series gave me something in common with my sister. My husband initiated our first conversation with me at a cafe because I was reading The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, and he had enjoyed the book previously.

A. Writer's Market is definitely a good place to start as far as hard copy info goes. I would also recommend that you read the links in the About Me section of my profile as well as My Starred Questions. Two of my favorite blogs are Nathan Bransford of Curtis Brown, Ltd and BookEnds, LLC. Blogs are especially helpful I think because agents, editors and publishers write exactly what they think and how they feel about the industry. You really get a feel for what the right and wrong moves are. Read ALL of the links and you will gain the knowledge that you need before you start trying to publish your book.

What book should I get my 18 year old girlfriend for our 2 year anniversary?
Q. The only requirement is that it can't deal with vampires. I'm looking for my 18 year old girlfriend for our 2 year anniversary, and I don't read a lot of books myself... I know she's not into Twilight/True Blood/etc., (no offense, but thankfully...) and she really likes Meg Cabot, and kind of teen smut novels.

A. If she's into Meg Cabot books, she'll probably enjoy the Georgia Nicolson series by Louise Rennison. The first book is entitled "Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging". The main character, Georgia, is a very witty, feisty young girl who's got a lot of spunk and sarcasm in her, quite similar to Meg Cabot's heroines. Also, I'd say the books are well-written and fun to read. Hope this helps!

A. If you deal with reputable publishers, they do NOT steal work. Their career and the company would be ruined. The court settlement would be worth far more to the original author than it would ever have earned the thief. Your work has copyright protection as soon as it is written down. You do not need to register the copyright until there is a need to do so (normally when getting published, and a reputable publisher does this for you). If your work were to be stolen, you have an allowable period of time to then register the work in order to pursue legal action.

Q. I want to read a book meant for young adults during the summer. Do you have any recommendations? The book must have an appropriate age level that is from ages 10 and up. If the book is in a series, please mention that as well.

What is a good book for a beginning photographer that teaches how to use a Canon Rebel xs?
Q. I have the canon rebel xs and I am new to SLR photography. I would like suggestions on a good book or two that will teach me how to use my camera specifically as well as digital photography in general. A bonus would be an explanation in the book/books of how to use the software that comes with the camera. Thank you for your help :)

A. I just knew that someone would say to read the manual. And that is great advice. You should definitely read it-about twenty times and then it might start to make sense. Trust me, I understand. When I got my first SLR, the manual didn't make any sense to me. It tells you how to adjust the settings, but gives you no reasoning for what settings you should use and when to use them. I bought a cheap book about photography and when I started to understand what the aperture and shutter speeds are, what they do, and how they work together, the manual that came with the camera finally started making sense. Just about any book that explains expposure in an understandable way is going to help you a lot. But if you search amazon or ebay you should… [cont.]

How can I locate books that refer to a book or author I am interested in?
Q. Perhaps a librarian can answer. How can I locate books that refer to a book or author I am interested in? Is there an index of bibliographies?

A. Go to amazon.com and select the book category. Then enter the name of the author or one of his works, and all the other information you want will appear. There are also reader comments you will find interesting, and sometimes a blog by the author in question. Dean Koontz, for example, has an extensive blog on amazon and even communicates with his fans by this medium. I think this approach will solve your problem.
