Announcements

This fall, Twilight Times Books will publish The Solomon Scandals, David Rothman's entertaining mix of suspense and satire on Washington, D.C.'s oft-bizarre ways. Rothman's newspaper novel is about real estate tycoons and bureaucrats--not just the usual politicians, spymasters and journalists.

Attention academics and librarians
Our books are starting to appear in college classes. This shows you the quality of the books we are publishing.

The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing by Mayra Calvania and Anne K. Edwards (June 2008 release) has been selected by a professor at Loyola College for a course there. The reason we know is because the professor wrote to ask "where are my books? ...the semester begins soon."

Professors at William and Mary, Marquette University and Swansea University U.K. have expressed an interest in teaching The New Bedford Samurai by Anca Vlasopolos in undergrad classes.

Hudson Lake by Laura Mazzuca Toops was chosen as a textbook in an honors class at the University of Kentucky.
