The book focuses on individuals writing in the '90s, but also includes 12 classic authors (e.g., Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott, J.R.R. Tolkien) who are still widely read by teens. It also covers some authors known primarily for adult literature (e.g., Stephen King) and some who write mainly for middle readers but are also popular among young adults (e.g., Betsy Byars).

"In The Washington, D.C. of Fiction: A Research Guide, James A. Kaser provides detailed synopses for nearly four hundred works published between 1822 and 1976 and bibliographic information for hundreds more published since. Plot summaries, names of major characters, and location lists are also presented. Although this book was written to assist researchers in locating works of fiction for analysis, the plot summaries have enough detail for general readers so they can develop an understanding of the way attitudes toward Washington, and what the city symbolizes, have changed over the years. Similarly, the biographical section demonstrates the wide range of journalists, politicians, society women, and freelance writers who were motivated to write about the city."--BOOK JACKET.

For an English nobleman, it’s a dangerous time to be in Paris—and in love—in this suspenseful historical romance by a New York Times–bestselling author. When Justin, Earl of Linton, found a half-starved child on the streets of Paris in the highly charged days before the Terror, his only thought was a bit of charity. He never imagined he would find an incomparably lovely young woman beneath tattered boys’ clothing—or that she would inspire in him a passion more intense than any he had ever known. But the beautiful Danielle had more secrets in store . . . and Justin would soon learn that one of them was a need for vengeance that might endanger them both. Praise for Love’s Charade “Hugely enjoyable historic romance with a rich plot, exciting adventure.” —Noël Cades, author of The Substitute Bride

Erich von Langheim, a Munich gallery owner of aristocratic antecedents has fled from dealing with the infidelity of his younger wife and gallery partner Karin to an out-of-the-way rural spot for a period of reflection and emotional recuperation. In this countryside the novel also turns into a reflection on country life versus existence in the city. Not that country life -- in all its coarseness, ignorance, and farmer's shrewdness in the exploiting of tourism -- is here idylicized. Yet the Langheim "prism" affords the uniting of the narrative's several themes -- midlife crisis, the "natural" versus the "artificial" life, instantly entwined and deepened as they are with the novel's most important theme: erotic obsession and art.
