Task 11: (part 1)
Looks Like Bookreporter.com will be a favorite, right on the opening page I noticed a new Clive Cussler novel I hadn't known about. Although this is a new series for him (not Dirk Pitt >( ) I will have to make some time to read it, as I have for all of his that I've found.

(part 2)
I once again looked up Piers Anthony, this time through the biography resource center, to see if it brought up anything different than the previous search. No joy - it's the same 8 articles I already found. Interestingly, one of the biographers notes that Piers aims his work at "a younger audience" while ignoring novels like Steppe or the Battle Circle trilogy which are both listed among his work by this biographer. Guess you don't have to truly read all of an author's work to write about them....

As before, nothing really new to learn through this set of articles. I liked Piers' Bio of an Ogre a great deal as an exposition on his career and life, and although he's produced a great deal since then, the description still fits
