B: oh, it’s the latest novel by ray blune. It’s a sic-fi thriller.
A; I thought he usually wrote horror books.
B: he does. He’s good at this genre too. It’s a captivating read.
A; we’re going to the bookshop. Would you like to join us?
B; yes, I would. I need to buy a textbook for my course and, as you know, I love browsing through the latest paperbacks.
A: me too. I need something to read on the flight to new york. I can never sleep on planes. Sarah wants to pick up some children’s books for her daughter.

A: good morning. I’m from the new york book review. Could I ask you some question about your latest book?
B: sure. Take a seat… what would you like to know?
A; first, I’ve heard that your latest book is based on a true story.
B; that’s correct. It’s a murder mystery based on actual murders that book place in florida several years ago. The main character-the police invesigator-is based on the man who investigated the case.
A: how do you research your books?
B: I always visit the places that I use as setting for stories. Readers like things to be as factually correct as possible-even in fiction! I usually base my characters on people I have met. Most character are a mixture of the characters of two or more people.
A; I really like your books. I’ve just finished this one. I read it from cover to cover in a single day. Congratulation on making the bestseller list yet again!
B; thank you. Let met sign it for you …there you go.
A; oh! Thank you very much. I heard that you are currently writing a collection of short stories. What are the stories about?
B: there’s a real mix of stories in the book. I haven’t finished all of them yet, though. Many of them are short detective stories, but there are also horror stories and sci-fi ones. If you give me your business card, I’ll make sure you get an advance copy to review.
A; thanks very much. I’m sure it will sell well. I can’t wait to read it. Here’s my card. Thank you for you time.
