Robert Santiago penned the Herald story on a transgender child that contains details similar to those in a May 18 New Times story by Julia Reischel. Norman argues that Santiago never saw the child, so he "got the information from the New Times story, plain and simple. And the Herald should have credited the NT story, damn straight." Santiago responds that "all the detail in the story comes directly from the parents and others I interviewed."

It's no mystery why Cornelia Read chose to make the protagonist of her debut novel an alt-weekly journalist: Read drew from her own experience at Syracuse New Times. The similarities end there, however, as the heroine of "A Field of Darkness" not only writes, she also solves a double homicide. "Mystery lovers will enjoy 'A Field of Darkness,'" says Diane La Rue of The Citizen in Auburn, N.Y., and the book will keep them "guessing as to what happens next."
