Patricia Cornwell, The Original CSI Expert  [ Edit ]  Site Reviews (0)
When Patricia Cornwell introduced Postmortem in 1990, she launched one of the most eagerly anticipated series in the history of fiction. She is best known for creating the chief medical examiner character, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, popular well before the current public obsession with crime scene investigation and forensic detective work.

Who Is Douglas Adams?  [ Edit ]  Site Reviews (0)
While I can remember a time when I didn't like Douglas Adams' writings -- that time was before I read one word of his writings. Douglas Adams has held me enthralled from the first chapter and I have read (and, indeed own) everything by him that I can. He is one of those author's that I read at least once a year. His style is, shall we say, perhaps a bit off. But, that is the fun and the wonder and the beauty of his delightful mind and his glorious wit. If you're already familiar with Douglas Adams and his body of work, you likely know exactly what I mean. If you're not familiar with him - let me give you a glimpse. Grab your towel, and remember: Don't Panic.

Who Is Herman Wouk?  [ Edit ]  Site Reviews (0)
Herman Wouk has the ability to transport me when I read one of his books. I started with "Don't Stop The Carnival", because of it's island setting. Then I decided to try "Winds Of War" since I enjoyed the first so much. I have never been disappointed. His richness of characters and description of place and full stories always leave me pleased I took the time to see what he had to say. Check out my Squidoo page to see more.

Carl Hiaasen is one of my favorite authors. He creates memorable, off beat characters and puts them in the most delightful circumstances. Well, 'delightful' if those circumstances aren't happening to you! The worlds that Carl Hiassen creates are fun to visit over and over again. Keep reading to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

Who Is Jennifer Crusie?  [ Edit ]  Site Reviews (0)
Welcome to Temptation, Ohio. Yep, I said Temptation, Ohio. The title of one of Jennifer Cruise's books is "Welcome To Temptation" and it is supposed to be in Ohio and it is an absolute joy to read. Funny, cynical, sexy: it kept me going 'til the very end of the book. I would soon discover that this was how I would react to all of Jennifer Crusie's books. Check out myu Squidoo page to find out more about this delightfully talented author.
