Of Shoes, Ships, & Sealing Wax asked:


reading “That Old Ace in the Hole.” Did not realize she wrote the story “Brokeback Mountain” and have not seen the film. If you are familiar with them, what is your opinion of her books? I think she is a fantastic writer, and would give almost anything to be able to capture the detail she does. Makes me want to visit the places she writes about as well as care about her characters. Your ideas please and thanks.

I know a novel takes time, especially when your most recent book was a best seller, but its been almost 6 years. Granted in the mean time he’s been involved in a plagiarism lawsuit and he was heavily involved in the making of The Da Vinci Code movie as well as being involved in the recently filmed Angels & Demons movie. The only news I see on his website is that a release date has not been set. Has anyone heard anything else?
