Task 12:
I think there's a lot to like about Novelist, and had already used it several times both for myself and for patrons. I plan to continue, too! The fact that it will list out the whole series, in order has really been useful

As to Cinephile Femme's previous comment about waiting for the enjoyable content - if that's who I believe it to be - umm... been to busy doing tasks! ;) Here's some attempt at something at least (maybe) useful:

If anyone who chances to read this likes horror novels, a couple of authors to try out in that realm are Piers Anthony (yep, he does more than one genre) and Robert E. Howard. Piers' writing will always have something to add in terms of for-real edutainment, and Howard is the original author of Conan (among other stories). He got his start writing short horror stories for magazines like Wierd Tales. I'm currently reading a compilation of them which also includes a few that he left unfinished, as well as some of his horror-oriented poetry. Good stuff, if you don't mind creepy!!! Also, any fans of Stephen King who don't know his alter-ego Richard Bachman should check those out. He did some writing under that name early in his career, and has had them published anew with his more recent modifications. Just read one called "Blaze" which he says was the final Bachman book written during that period. Like he says in his intro, it's horror - sort of - but with a serious tear-jerker aspect as well. Let the reader beware!!

Toodles!
