Two Works by Jack Woodford

-------------------------

FIND THE MOTIVE and THE LOUD LITERARY LAMAS OF NEW YORK
-------------------------  

Find the Motive is a 1932 murder mystery unlike any other. A rich man gathers together at dinner a gaggle of police and judicial bigwigs, then announces that one of them is going to kill him -- then drops dead! Jack Woodford has taken all of the mystery novel cliches and turned them on their heads.

-------------------------

In 1950's Loud Literary Lamas of New York Woodford gets back at all of the craven publishers who make life hell for authors by detailing all of their devices and tricks. He advocates self-publishing, which was a radical idea in 1950, and generally lays the foundation for what has become the Print-On-Demand revolution of the 21st century. This is a must-read for aspiring authors of today.
