    Lynne,
    Welcome! You'll find many fellow readers, librarians, and a large number of authors here.

    Writers love those people who are readers. It seems that lately readers are in short supply.

    Has anyone read "The calling" by Inger Ash Wolfe?
    I really enjoyed it.
    I wonder though WHY did this author use a pseudonym? We can speculate that they have changed genres and want a fresh perspective from their readers, or perhaps they just want to generate some 'hype' to sell more books.

    I picked this title for the intriguing sounding blurb, before I realized it was a pseudonym. It sounded like a character driven plot, which are my favorite kind...
    What are your views on pseudonyms? (and this one in particular)

    On pseudonyms--I've used so many, I've lost count.

    I use different names for each genre and subgenre.

    Hi Lynne, Welcome. As a Canadian, you might be interested to know that my upcoming book - Flight of the Hornbill - is loosely based on the Bre-X gold fraud in Indonesia.

    Just finished a fabulous book by a new author.
    "Sacrifice" by S.J. Bolton
    It is very exciting to find debut novels that promise riches to come.
