Kristine Kathryn Rusch's most acclaimed crime novels returns to print after 15 years with its original title restored. Set in two timelines—the ill-fated 1972 Munich Olympics and the rise of Nazism in the 1930s, Rusch deftly blends the past and the present in a tale of criminality and missed opportunity.When the ambitious American reporter Annie Pohlmann tracks down former police detective Fritz Stecher, she doesn't want to talk about his most famous case. She wants to talk about his most famous failure, a failure tied to the most notorious events of the 1930s. Stecher talks, and reveals even more than Annie ever bargained for.Sadly relevant today, Consecrated Ground explores the underlying evil of unchecked power and its effect on the entire world."e;…a short, powerful novel that proves the always impressive Rusch can successfully tackle any genre she sets her sights on."e;—BarnesandNoble.comEditor's Pick"e;Rusch [writes] a fine historical thriller….It's a great story, cleanly told."e;—The Oregonian"e;… a fascinating concoction of historical speculation, moral compass calibration, and an account of tough police work.

Writers work alone, and most of them make stories up for a living. Those two facts make writing very difficult. Writers often quit because they believe something untrue. Without a support system, those beliefs take over. The Write Attitude provides that support system. With chapters on everything from believing in oneself to learning how to clear the critical voices from the office, this book shows writers how to get through even the darkest night of the soul. Kristine Kathryn Rusch knows a thing or two about writing. A professional writer since the age of sixteen, she survived the ups and downs of publishing for five decades. All of the advice in this book comes from those experiences. "e;[Kristine Kathryn Rusch's weekly publishing blog]…is full of sound advice and analysis about what's going on."e;—Jeff Baker, The Oregonian "e;I would highly recommend reading this book and learning from the wisdom of a writing veteran like Kristine Kathryn Rusch.  She has written professionally for nearly four decades across science-fiction, fantasy, mystery, and the romance genres. Her writing advice and experience in publishing provides a brutally honest perspective about the business and how creatives can survive and thrive to have a long-term writing career."e;— Kammbia Book Review on the first edition of The Write Attitude
