At 5:26am on June 24, 2009, Shirley Wells said…: Lynne, thanks so much for your kind words and for the friendship. Just off to check the links...

At 11:51am on March 18, 2009, Lynne LeGrow said…: I am now reading "In the woods" by Tana French. I have owned this book for months, but I find that working in a library, I tend to read library books first on the assumption that if I own a book I'll get to it 'someday'. It is only because my book group chose this title that I finally picked it up. What a nice surprise! I'm about half way through and I'm really enjoying it. I already purchased the sequel "The likeness". I confess I have over a hundred titles here at home that I haven't read yet. I hope my eyesight holds out until I retire.

At 11:31am on October 16, 2008, Lynne LeGrow said…: 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.

At 4:32am on July 12, 2008, Eric Stone said…: 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.

I use different names for each genre and subgenre.

At 11:57pm on July 9, 2008, Lynne LeGrow said…: 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)

At 11:28pm on July 9, 2008, JackBludis said…: Writers love those people who are readers. It seems that lately readers are in short supply.

At 7:43am on July 8, 2008, L. A. Starks said…: Lynne,
Welcome! You'll find many fellow readers, librarians, and a large number of authors here.
