| What's New This Month.... |
Dear Readers,
A very full lineup this month as we share our Native American Author Roundtable, as well as last month's Horror Author Roundtable. Our Author of the Month is Scott Turow and, as always, there is news about our AuthorsOnTheWeb.com authors.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The Book Report Network! And to all our Jewish friends, Happy Hanukkah, as well.

| Author of the Month: Scott Turow |
Scott Turow
You know him best as the author of Presumed Innocent. Critics are raving about Reversible Errors, the latest novel from legal thriller master Scott Turow. Bookreporter.com's Ann Bruns calls Reversible Errors "a compelling story spun from an astute reflection of those fallible humans that underly the fragile structure of the judicial process."
With sales of nearly 25 million, the author of Presumed Innocent, The Burden of Proof, Pleading Guilty, The Laws of our Fathers, and Personal Injuries is one of the country's bestselling authors.
In November AuthorsOnTheWeb honors Scott Turow as our Author of the Month. Readers can learn more about Turow's life and his work through trivia, "fast facts," a bibliography, and biographical information.
