I wasn't entirely convinced with his reasons for why he ceased the series and why he has written another. I wondered if he is trying to recapture a readership he lost.Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-5494788770749945602009-06-13T08:45:42.029+09:302009-06-13T08:45:42.029+09:30Wikipedia relies on contributions Kenneth, so you ...Wikipedia relies on contributions Kenneth, so you will find considerable variance between entries.

Perry grew up around here and he occasionally uses Western New York settings that are astonishingly accurate since he now lives in California.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546161337366365635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-19909698457133174782009-06-12T23:28:38.708+09:302009-06-12T23:28:38.708+09:30I use wikipedia as a source for all previous works...I use wikipedia as a source for all previous works by an author and have found it to be fairly accurate and comprehensive, although some authors particularly new ones are not always included. I checked W. on Thomas Perry and got the same list as above, along with ISBN (not always listed). W tends to highlight individual books which have won awards and sometimes when starting a new author I'll road-test with an award book vs. first in the series.<br />KenKennethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230841071384176436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-22994702522203301872009-06-12T05:05:10.060+09:302009-06-12T05:05:10.060+09:30I'm told you'd make a fine candidate for ...I'm told you'd make a fine candidate for <a href="http://detectivesbeyondborders.blogspot.com/2009/06/4x4-meme.html" rel="nofollow">this meme</a>, so I'm nominating you.
