Karen Davis and Thelma Kidd opened Davis-Kidd Booksellers in 1980, in a 1,200 square foot space on Hillsboro Road. Twenty-five years, 4 relocations, 7 expansions, 1 owner, millions of books, and untold General Managers later, we're still going strong, in a new 36,000 square foot showcase store adjoining the Green Hills Mall.

Hidden River Arts first annual poetry competition deadlines December 20. We offer $1,000 and publication of a book length manuscript of poetry. Guidelines and application can be found at www. hiddenriverarts. com under "Poetry Book Guidelines. "
As the traditional beginning of the holiday shopping season is upon us, I’d like to bring you and your customers up to date on what’s new from award-winning author Jeff Mariotte:
I made national and world news over the past few months with my comic book biography “PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL: BARACK OBAMA,” a bestseller in the comic world (and in flip-book form, with John McCain on the other side, available to bookstores, ISBN: 978-160010341-4).
Penguin/Jove released supernatural thriller RIVER RUNS RED (ISBN: 978-0-515-14477-2). David Morrell says it’s “a fascinating blend of espionage and the occult, with jaw-dropping plot twists and one of the best action sequences I’ve read in a long time. ” Trashotron. com says “Mariotte keeps you entertained and gives your gray cells something to chew on while they're helping you manufacture monsters in your mind's big-screen, surround-sound theater.”
Pocket Star just put out SPIDER-MAN: REQUIEM (ISBN: 978-1-4165-1078-9), a new novel featuring the world’s favorite webslinger.
A couple of graphic novels on the horizon: January brings ZOMBIE COP from Image Comics/Shadowline (ISBN: 978-1-60706-023-9), which includes both a 96-page comic story and a prose back-up novella set in the same zombie-fied city. The comic story has fully painted art by Szymon Kudranski.
In February last winter’s hit horror/Western miniseries GRAVESLINGER will be released in graphic novel form from IDW Publishing (ISBN: 978-1-60010-364-3).
And in May, Penguin will release COLD BLACK HEARTS, the follow-up to MISSING WHITE GIRL and RIVER RUNS RED.

Dear friend in yourspace Allow me to re-introduce myself: I am George Fisher (of Henley). I thought you might be interested to know that my memoirs are shortly to be published - on August 22nd, by Little, Brown (or for those of you in Great Britain, on Octobr 4th by Jonathan Cape). I will shortly be touring the country, with my assistant Wesley Stace aka John Wesley Harding, reading from the very volume, called, most appropriately, "by George". I have recently published the first chapter at my myspace page, not to mention at www.wesleystace.com.
Hidden River Arts is now reading for its 2007 fiction and drama competition cycle. $1000 is offered to the winning manuscript in each category along with publication in our awards anthology. All information can be found at www.hiddenriverarts.org and we invite friends of Davis-Kidd to check us out!
Hey, Davis-Kidd - hope you're having a delicious long weekend (lots of rest, no chores, and maybe some so bad it's good TV)! Get this -- I've been hearing from readers that they're having problems finding "Celebrity Skin" in stores. Eeek!
Anyway, I know you're crazy busy, but if you could do me a favor I'd be REALLY grateful. Call your local Barnes and Noble, Borders or wherever you shop and request the book -- you don't have to buy it (even though I'd love to hear what you think) -- just let 'em know you want to see it on shelves next time you pop in.
You are the absolute greatest -- and don't forget, if you haven't already entered I'm giving away an autographed copy of CS AND a designer T-shirt through my newsletter this month -- check it out at www.lianebonin.com. Take care! Liane
