A man who can start a war anytime and anywhere he pleases--and then profit from it--will be the most powerful man in the world. But Carver didn''t count on James Bond.

A unique, ground-breaking collection of lively, informative, and provocative essays & interviews from some of the most acclaimed and bestselling authors of tie-in books & novelizations about what they do and how they do it.Tie-in novels are books based on pre-existing media properties -- like TV shows, movies and games -- and they regularly top the national bestseller lists.

Dietz, Aaron Rosenberg, Paul Kupperberg, Jeff Mariotte, Raymond Benson, Robert Greenberger, David Spencer, Greg Cox, Burl Barer, Jeff Ayers, Nancy Holder, Brandie Tarvin, Alina Adams and William Rabkin.EDITORIAL REVIEWS: "There have always been formidable writers doing tie-ins, but they have generally been dismissed, not unreasonably, as quickies tossed off for a fast buck. That image has been improved somewhat by the quality work of editor Goldberg, the late Stuart Kaminsky, Max Allan Collins, and some of the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers members contributing to this volume. With it''s helpful how-to tips and articles, the book is primarily directed towards other writers, and established pros at that. But many fans and scholars will enjoy the inside-the-business stuff." Jon Breen, Mystery Scene Magazine "Tied-In doesn''t focus solely on television tie-ins. It also covers movie novelizations, comic book tie-ins and computer game tie ins. But that actually makes it even more valuable and more interesting. Tied-In is a fascinating exploration of the media tie-in business." -- Television Obscurities Blog"This is really interesting and entertaining stuff. I was genuinely surprised at how much fun I had reading this book, and I''m sure most of you would like it, too" -- Bill Crider''s Pop Culture Magazine "I say this without a whit of exaggeration Tied-In is the most fascinating, entertaining and honest book about the writing life I''ve ever read..." --Ed Gorman, founder of Mystery Scene Magazine

From the New York Times bestselling author and former James Bond novelist comes a 1940s and present-day Hollywood crime drama that tackles racism, sexism, and murder. Karissa Glover is a mixed-race movie producer who moves into a decrepit but functional old mansion in the West Adams Heights area of Los Angeles, where black celebrities of yesteryear—Hattie McDaniel, Louise Beavers, and others—once resided. The former owner was a white actress, Blair Kendrick, who often starred as the femme fatale in films noir of the 1940s. Blair allegedly shot and killed the studio head in 1949 and then disappeared. As Karissa and her producing partner decide to develop a modern film noir about Blair Kendrick, malevolent forces from the past attempt to stop them—first with intimidation, and then attempted murder. The story unravels between the present-day and the 1940s narrative—with the latter presenting Blair’s story in the form of Karissa’s crime thriller film. As Blair’s Hollywood star shines, she fights against sexual harassment from sexist movie moguls—and when she falls for the black jazz musician Hank Marley, their then-taboo relationship begins to jeopardize her standing with the fixers and studio bigwigs . . . Full of mystery, intrigue, Hollywood history, and social commentary on the racial divide in Tinsel Town, Blues in the Dark is Raymond Benson at his insightful and page-turning best.
