Sue Monk Kidd writes a variety of novels, including historical fiction and women's fiction.

Sue Monk Kidd's debut novel came out in the mid-1990s. This early work laid the foundation for her success as an author.

Her use of strong female protagonists. In her works, women are at the center, facing and overcoming various challenges in historical contexts. For example, in 'The Secret Life of Bees', the young girl's journey of self - discovery is set against the backdrop of a racially charged South. This combination makes her stories stand out.

As of now, I haven't heard any specific news regarding Sue Monk Kidd's new novel. Sometimes it takes a while for news to spread, especially in the early stages of a novel's development. Publishers might keep things under wraps until they are closer to the release date. It could also be that she is still in the writing or editing process.

It's hard to say without more information. But given her past works, it might be a story full of rich characters and deep emotions.

One of her well - known works in historical fiction is 'The Secret Life of Bees'. It's set in the South during a time of racial tension and tells a story of a young white girl who runs away and finds refuge with a family of black beekeepers. The story beautifully weaves in elements of the era such as segregation and the civil rights movement, while also exploring themes of love, loss and female empowerment.

Agatha Christie wrote mystery novels. Her works often feature complex plots and clever detective characters.

Theodore Dreiser wrote a variety of novels, including those exploring social and economic issues in American society.

Mary Sue novels were based on traditional fairy tales such as Cinderella and Snow White, creating an extremely romantic, beautiful, and unrealistic love story. In these novels, the female protagonist usually had extraordinary beauty, wisdom, martial arts, and wealth, while the male protagonist was usually a perfect character who loved the female protagonist unconditionally without any flaws. The word "Mary Sue" came from the novel "Carrie the Witch" by Kelly of the Soviet Union. It was later borrowed by some novelists as a fictional literary style that was popular in Asia. It is worth noting that although Mary Sue novels are usually considered romantic fantasies, in fact, many of the plots in Mary Sue novels are impossible in reality. These novels often attracted readers with fake romance and unrealistic plots, but at the same time, they also reflected some of the expectations and fantasies of contemporary young people towards love and ideals.

Horatio Alger mainly wrote rags-to-riches stories, emphasizing hard work and moral character as the keys to success.
