Nora Titone
Spotted today in Publisher’s Marketplace:
Research associate to Doris Kearns Goodwin for Team of Rivals Nora Titone’s THE TRAGEDY OF EDWIN AND JOHN WILKES BOOTH, a close examination of the Booth brothers’ lifelong rivalry, revealing surprising new insights into the motives of Lincoln’s assassin, with a foreword by Goodwin, to Martin Beiser at Free Press, in a significant deal, for publication in April 2010, by Katharine Cluverius at ICM (world).
I read the proposal for this book and, believe me, you’re in for a treat. Nora has a thoroughly gripping story that brings John Wilkes to life and introduces a new character to the drama, his older brother, the famous actor, Edwin Booth. We’re going to have to rethink everything we ever thought we knew about John Wilkes Booth and the reasons why Lincoln was assasinated.
We’re all on pins and needles out here on the left coast.
As well you should be.
Hey Nora, looks like things are going well. I’ll be on line in 2010.
I am so excited about your book coming out. I have always wanted to learn more about the plot around Lincoln’s assassination.

Roger: Can’t wait to see what you have put together after your many (is it over 10 now?) years of research that enabled you to look deeper into this period of our history and especially into this most dysfunctional family!
Meet her…loved her and cant wait to read the book!!!
