Mary Higgins Clark, on writing:

 

A common question asked of writers is "When did you decide to become a writer?"
The answer, of course, is that we didn't decide anything.
It was decided for us.
I firmly believe that mythical godmothers make appearances at our cradles, and bestow their gifts.
The godmother who might have blessed me with a singing voice did not show up;
the goddess of dance was nowhere in sight;
the chef-to-the-angels was otherwise engaged.
Only one made the journey to my cradle, and she whispered, "You will be a storyteller."
- Mary Higgins Clark.

Silent Mystery and Detective Movies: A Comprehensive Filmography

by Ken Wlaschin. 

Published 2009.

ISBN-10: 0786443502

ISBN-13: 978-0786443505

Description:

The silent film era was known in part for its cliffhanger serials and air of suspense that kept audiences returning to theaters week after week. Icons such as Douglas Fairbanks, Laurel and Hardy, Lon Chaney and Harry Houdini were among those who graced the dark and shadowy screen. This reference guide to silent films with mystery and detective content lists more than 1,500 titles in one of entertainment’s most popular and enduring genres. While most of the films examined are from North America, mystery films from around the world are included.

The late Ken Wlaschin was former director of creative affairs at the American Film Institute, headed the Institute’s National Film Theater and founded its Los Angeles film festival. He previously directed the British Film Institute’s National Film Theater and London film festival for 14 years. Wlaschin, the author of three other McFarland books, lived in Palm Springs, California.
