I'm looking for a book title/author that I think is long out of print. It was an old book when I read it 30 years ago. I seem to remember the title was something like "Blue Lightning Mountain."
Plot from what I can remember was of a lonely boy who goes to a lake, where he's knocked out cold, then starts an adventure with a girl and giant insects and a giant version of a puppy. They had to get to Blue Lightning Mountain. I think the mountain was where the bees were.
End of the book has him coming to, seeing the girl there at the lake with the puppy, and making friends with each other. I seem to remember the book seeming like it was written by someone British (just by the language/word choices of the author). I was 10 years old, an advanced reader, and found the book in the school library where the older kids would have been reading.So it was probably meant for older kids, and was definitely written before the 1970's because the book was definitely old then, worn, reminded me of what my parents would have read.
This book is most likely long out of print, but I'd still like to find. Asked by summerhaunt 23 months ago Similar questions: book title author long print read 30 years ago Arts > Books.

What do you think about authors/publishers that reissue previously published books I think it’s great. Cerridwen Press has published 4 of my out-of-print books - Wolf Shadow, Lakota Love Song, Apache Flame and Hawk’s Woman. These books had been out of print for quite some time and now they’re available again as both e-books and in print.
Leisure is also reissuing some of my old historical romances that have been out of print for several years, making them available to readers who are just discovering historical romances. When a publisher reissues a book, it means royalties for the author, whereas books offered for free by internet pirates yield nothing. Internet piracy has become quite a thorn in the side of most authors.
One author said she has lost thousands of dollars due to internet piracy. Uploading another person’s work and giving it away not only cheats authors out of money they worked hard for, it’s against the law. I don’t understand how anyone, in good conscience, can put someone else’s hard work on a website and give it away.
A few thousand pirated copies might not mean much to big name authors who sell millions and millions of books, but it means a lot to the rest of us. Many authors, myself included, are worried because internet piracy leads not only to lost income, but shrinking sales figures. When an author’s sales figures go down enough, that author soon finds herself without a new contract.
Sorry for the rant, but this subject is very worrisome to every author I know. People loan out books all the time, that’s not considered piracy. What’s the difference?
I guess because there’s not much chance that you will loan it to more than a few people, whereas one of my books has been illegally downloaded over 800 times. And that’s just one book. I don’t know about most readers, maybe they don’t realize that, in publishing, numbers are everything.
If you have a favorite author and you start downloading books illegally, her numbers (books sold that are tracked by the publisher) will go down. If they go down far enough, her publisher will not offer her another contract, and readers will no longer be reading their favorite author. While this might not effect Nora Roberts, who sells 27 books a minute, it effects the majority of romance writers.
I know a lot of readers think all authors are rich like Stephen King and Stephanie Meyer and J.K. Rowling, but it just ain’t so. Most of them also have day jobs because writing doesn’t pay the bills. Sources: http://www.affairedecoeur.com/blog/?p=33 .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
