1. "Paula Gosling." Contemporary Authors Online. Detroit: Gale, 2008. Literature Resource Center. Web. 3 Mar. 2015. http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CH1000038331&v=2.1&u=umd_um&it=r&p=LitRC&sw=w&asid=43a3bce72cee989d73603efc6c0fcc20

The document reflects Paula Gosling's facts and her works. Gosling was born in Michigan and moved to England following her undergraduate career. She held numerous copywriter positions before she began to write crime novels full time. An excerpt from her interview is also embedded in the document which has her passion and reason for writing crime novels rather than any other genres. Gosling enjoys the challenge of writing a crime novel and likes to reveal the secret persona that drives the character to commit murder. This source is relevant as it shows her basic facts along with the reasons why she pursues the particular career (crime novelist) she does. The source meets the Wikipedia standard for reliable source as it is a secondary source published on authentic educational website, Gale, Cengage Learning.

2. Temple, Robert. "Writer Paula Gosling Hits A Bull's-Eye, Thanks To Sly Stallone's Latest Blockbluster, Cobra." People 25.26 (1986): 97. Academic Search Premier. Web. 5 Mar. 2015. http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20093983,00.html

The article talks about how her novel became a movie and proceeds to go in depth about how she started writing crime fictions. One of her novels, A Running Duck (1978), was credited for the movie Cobra (1985) filmed by the Warner Bros and from the movie, Gosling has made a significant financial gain. The article is relevant in my project as it reveals the first movie created from one of her novels which is significant in her career as a novelist. It is also a reliable secondary source since it is published on a well established medium, People magazine.

3. J.V. "The Wychford Murders (Book)." Library Journal 112.1 (1987): 112. Academic Search Premier. Web. 5 Mar. 2015. http://web.a.ebscohost.com.proxy-um.researchport.umd.edu/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=7cc68a0e-8eb1-4551-b5c3-a5e88ec33f2c%40sessionmgr4005&vid=10&hid=4112

J.V. reviews one of Gosling's novels, The Wychford Murders (1986). The review is positive of her work and gives a little bit of preview of what the book is about. In addition to figuring out murder cases, there is a heartwarming romance that the readers can look forward to. The book review is relevant to my article because it has a good preview of the novel without giving out any of the actual content, which in important in drawing audiences. It is a reliable secondary source because it has been published on the Library Journal which is an academic journal.
