With ‘Broken,’ authors try to prevent hoaxes

STRUTHERS

Judi Huggins of Struthers and Stephen Lee Ostrowski, authors of “Broken,” a learning guide and true story of the consequences of a romance scam, wrote the book to prevent this crime from continuing.

Jane Hollis was an unassuming woman, recently widowed and unfamiliar with dating sites. In a short time she was approached by a charming man who changed her life forever.

The message needs to move forward to help other potential victims.

The book is available at www.amazon.com/books. For information, call Huggins at 330-502-8030 or email jhuggins00@gmail.com.

‘Divergent’ author to tour for new book

NEW YORK

Veronica Roth wants the tour for her sci-fi/fantasy novel “Carve the Mark” to be a little like the book itself, a “sojourn” defined by “exploration and curiosity.”

“[W]ith each stop on the tour, my intention is to learn about the cities I’m traveling to,” the Chicago-based author best known for her multimillion-selling “Divergent” series told The Associated Press recently. “I’m taking recommendations from the locals themselves, via social media, and documenting the experiences as I go!”

Roth’s book comes out in mid-January and HarperCollins told The Associated Press on Wednesday that she will visit 10 cities, starting in New York on Jan. 17 and continuing with stops ranging from Glencoe, Ill., to Katy, Texas.

Bloomberg co-authors climate-change book

NEW YORK

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is working with environmentalist Carl Pope on a book about climate change.

St. Martin’s Press told The Associated Press recently that “Overheated: How Cooler Heads Can Cool the World” will come out April 18.

According to St. Martin’s, Bloomberg and Pope hope to remove the “partisan rhetoric” and offer “viable, concrete solutions.”
