| Pen of Iniquity, by Deno Sandz.
In 1998, Derrick Samuel pleaded innocent to an armed robbery of a
convenience store, but was found guilty and incarcerated.
Four years earlier, miscreant Daniel Gordon, serving a ten-year
sentence for murder at the Northville Prison, was brutally tortured and
murdered by the warden, his guards, and six inmates because of his
involvement with the outside world regarding the murders being committed
by guards and inmates ordered by Warden Verdana. Daniel also complained
about the improper living conditions, drug trafficking, and inhumane
working conditions.
That evening four years ago, before the prison closed down due to
funding, the guards forcefully pulled Daniel out of his cell and dragged
down to a decaying boiler room. Inside the room awaited the six inmates
and the warden. They beat him, chained him to an open steam pipe, and
turned it on.
After a few minutes they took him down from the steam pipe thinking he
was dead. Suddenly, Daniel spoke, “I shall remember you.” Then, into
the furnace they placed him…burning him alive.
It is now the year 2002 and a Pen of Iniquity is about to be opened.

Creative Novel Writing, by Roselle
Angwin
(Robert Hale, hardback and paperback).
This one's very much a hands-on guide, based on an annual course I've been
running for 8 years now. The course has been featured in The Guardian, and
one of my other courses (I run the Fire in the Head creative and
reflective writing programme) in The Sunday Times.
http://www.roselle-angwin.co.uk
Synopsis
There are two sorts of writers: the dabbler, and the compulsive. If
you belong to the second category, and if you know that you have a novel
inside you itching to be freed, then this is the book for you. Good
creative writing, Roselle Angwin believes, is the product of an alchemical
encounter between creative imagination, the form or vehicle it takes, and
'factor x'. This book is unique amongst 'how-to' books in that it
addresses not only style and structure, but also the core - the
imagination, and the creation of the conditions in which 'factor x' may
occur. The book is also thoroughly practical; its basis is course material
tried and tested in Roselle's highly successful 'A Novel in Two Terms'
course. Through section headings such as 'hunting and gathering', 'pain
and passion', 'memories, dreams, reflections' and 'where do ideas come
from?' as well as 'viewpoint', plot', 'character', and 'dialogue', this
book will tempt, guide, seduce and bully you into finding your own
imaginative voice for the story you want to tell. Here indeed is a
novel-writing book which truly covers new ground.

Do Not Adjust Your Set - The Early Days of
Live Television,
by Kate Dunn
Do Not Adjust Your Set - The Early Days of Live Television, issued by
John Murray last month [July].
Synopsis
In the early days of television, everything was live, even the
"repeats". Actors and actresses had to think on their feet,
running from set to set, often while changing costume and making cuts to
their scripts at the same time. In this book, stars such as Dame Eileen
Atkins, Wendy Craig and Sir Nigel Hawthorne recall the frenetic conditions
in which classics such as "Dixon of Dock Green" and "Z
Cars" were made, and the extraordinary hazards they had to deal with
- scenery collapsed, actors went missing, and even died.
The Times has described it as 'hilarious', the Sunday Times
says it is 'packed with gripping anecdotes' and the Independent
says, ”Kate Dunn has compiled a valuable and necessary work of oral
history in a scandalously under-researched field. She has mapped out a
world of television that has been comprehensively lost. Live television
maybe gone but this entertaining history ensures it won’t be forgotten.”
