FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Richmond, Virginia, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 27, 2010 -- Award-winning historical fiction author Jessica James is featured in the new book "50 Great Writers You Should be Reading," published by The Author’s Show, an audio and video broadcast network. The book compiles some of the best guests that have appeared on both the online radio and TV versions of the show, and presents to readers some of the best writers the new world of publishing has to offer.

According to the publishers, the 50 authors featured in the book were chosen for their ability to verbalize their deep love for the writing craft. James was interviewed for the show when her historical fiction novel "Shades of Gray" was first published in 2008. Since then the book has been the recipient of numerous national book awards, and was chosen Favorite Book of the Year across all genres by five book review sites. Additionally, Shades of Gray climbed to the #1 spot on the Amazon Best-Seller list in its category, temporarily moving it ahead of the classic Gone with the Wind.

James will be signing copies of the Civil War novel Shades of Gray on Nov. 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Gettysburg Civil War Museum and Gift Shop, 297 Steinwher Avenue, Gettysburg.
