This week my Waiting on Wednesday book is "Ghost Story
Ghost Story (Dresden Files, Book 13) by Jim Butcher
Publisher: Roc Hardcover
Release Date: March 29th, 2011
ISBN: 978-0451463791
Synopsis from wikipedia.com: "It has been officially confirmed via Jim Butcher's Twitter page that Ghost Story takes place immediately after the ending of Changes, with him comparing it to the transition between Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III. He has also stated "there's a train coming at him", referring to the cliffhanger ending of the previous novel."
It's interesting how authors are using cliffhangers at the end of a book to promote the next book. Television shows like 24 have made this approach popular. I'm not sure if it is appreciated from a literary perspective but it apparently is valuable from a marketing perspective.
