Novel & Cerita Authors Looking For True Stories

The particular quality of a person who has received confirmation of something they needed to know and can now proceed. "Can I ask you something about writing?" he said. "Yes," she said. "How do you know when something is true?" he said. "Not factually true — I mean true in the way your book is true. When you're writing something that isn't real, that is made up, how do you know if it's true in the way that matters?" She thought about this seriously.

“Not you. Your work. The things you write. You said yourself there are people who don’t want those stories told. People who prefer the truth stays buried.” A cold knot formed in her stomach. She thought of the letters she’d received threatening, unsigned, delivered to her apartment in the dead of night. The way her manuscripts had gone missing from the publisher’s office, only to reappear days later with pages torn out. The whispers in the city’s literary circles, the way certain powerful figures would fall silent whenever she entered a room. “But who would come all this way? And how would they find us so fast?”

“Of course not. It’s just a house . . . my house, as you said.” “I can’t believe it. You’re Mr. Horror, and you don’t believe in ghosts? How is that even possible?” “Okay, Bias, I’m going to blow your mind with one hell of a revelation about writers and their stories. I’m pretty sure Lewis Carroll never fell down a rabbit hole into a magical Wonderland; it doesn’t seem likely that Anne Rice believes in vampires; and I highly doubt J.K. Rowling has met any real wizards. That’s what makes it fiction and not nonfiction.”

He asked. I bit my lower lip. "Sir, there is no excuse," I responded. "The reason why I haven't started writing shit about him is that I couldn't find one. And you know too well that written articles are best when they are supported with evidence," I sighed. Honestly speaking, this is how I stand with every article I make. The credibility of the words and information goes back to the writer or the author itself. Because if I were to create false narratives, people would surely recognized it easily. Now that Hunter is loved, adored, and cherished by the public.

"I assume you still want the story?" "What story?" "Of Grotesque and everything else." She hadn't even thought about it. For the first time in her life, she was seeking answers only to have them, not to prove anything or to write a story. "I don't really care." "No?" "I don't, Deke. There is no story. Do you think regular people are ready to hear about gargoyles and goblins? They don't want to know the truth. They want to be told their life is exactly how they expect it to be."

Caitlin saw the rows of computers, and she went and sat before one, instinctively knowing exactly what to look for after all these years of being a scholar, all these years of cataloging rare books. It didn’t take her much time to get into the guts of the catalog, entering several dozen combinations of keywords: Vampire. History of the vampire. Vampire myths. Vampire legends. Vampire rituals. Vampire cure. Vampire weapon. Scholarship. Proof. Facts. Her searching brought up a wide array of books. She scrolled through them quickly, her expert eye able to weed out the wrong ones, immediately ruling out books that were too modern, books by disreputable publishers, books with titles that were too

Sage groaned. "It's not disgusting." Sophie grumbled back as Greg stood and ran away with three more sour candies in his mouth. Sage regarded her verbosity with a long look, and tempted to wilt beneath the stare, Sophie feinted by chewing the last of her candy. She wouldn’t be the first to be discomforted by a hard gaze from the hot alpha. Eventually she nodded and pushed her lips together. "Fair enough. That goes without saying. Most humans who write sighting stories do so anonymously. But, truthfully, it is not your human spy or your words that I doubted."

“That’s rare around here. Everyone else just writes checks.” Adrian laughed. “Yeah, I noticed.” They stepped away from the crowd slightly, finding a quiet pocket near a window that looked over the garden. Eli leaned casually against the wall, swirling his wine. “So, what do you write?” “Articles mostly,” Adrian said, tucking his hands into his pockets. “Some short stories. Nothing glamorous. Magazines, online journals. You wouldn’t know any of them.” “Try me.” Adrian smiled, surprised by the interest. “I like peace and Quiet. Most of my stories are about small things. A town nobody’s heard of. A man who grows trees in his kitchen. Real stuff.”

Claire brings a huge cake, decorated with dinosaurs and books. "Aunt Claire!" the boys run to hug her. Alex hugs me from behind as we watch the scene. "Happy?" he asks. "At peace," I answer. My new book rests on the table: "Hidden Truths - How Silence Almost Won". In the dedication, a simple message: "For Oliver and Noah, Who taught me that the best stories are those we have the courage to tell. And for Claire and Sarah Bennett, Who showed us the price and value of truth." "SOPHIA HAWTHORNE LEADS BESTSELLERS LIST: 'Hidden Truths' Revolutionizes the Publishing Market"
