Today, it’s our pleasure to meet first-time author Jane Davis whose new book Half-truths and White Lies has won the Daily Mail’s First Novel Award.  It’s the kind of start that most writers can only dream of having – but for Jane, it’s a very well-deserved kickstart for a terrifically talented new voice.  How did Jane first start writing?  Her answer will transfix you.

In today’s Write Report, Donna reports that Penguin has signed the first e-book distribution agreement with China – a great leap forward, we hope.  And the Internet Archive is worried by the Google Book Settlement.

In Eve’s Salmagundi Club, she finds a website that is extraordinarily frank about an author’s earnings.
