New Items by Old Authors

You've Heard of Them

A Week in Winter by Maeve Binchy.  A painting for the cover.  Binchy died in July of 2012.  No information in the book is she wrote all of this, part of this, or if her name is now a corporate moniker.  I took three tries to type moniker without a keystroke error.  Monkier is a good word though.

Touch and Go by Lisa Gardner.  Gardener is not dead.  She has a well done author photo.  The photo looks to edited with everything around her lit face blacked out.  An appropriately dramatic presentation for a thriler novel.

Guilt by Jonathan Kellerman.  Kellerman has a beard in his author photo.  His photo follows the same style as Gardner's with Kellerman wearing black and having a dark grey, mottled background behind him.  Maybe this is the new style.

Deadly Stakes by J.A. Jance.  One of those AZ desert based novels rather than a Northwest US based novels.  Jance lives by Tucson.  Forgotten Weapons posted a match video from north of Tucson.

Hit Me by Lawrence Block.  Block's photo looks new also.  His is bright and cheery though.  I suppose that fits with this bright and cheery series of a paid killer.  I'm not sure if I read the novel preceding this one or not.  The Baker and Taylor slip of paper in this book says the whole shipment was processed with pride by Judith Trail.

You've Never Heard of Him

Bark River Chronicles: stories from a Wisconsin watershed by Milton J. Bates.  the Bark River begins northwest of Milwaukee and empties into Lake Koshkonong by Fort Atkinson.  Milton details his many canoeing trips along the river.  Amy Lutzke at Dwight Foster PL in Fort is listed in the acknowledgments.  Milton writes "this is not a guidebook."

Large Print

Vintage Ladybug Farm by Donna Ball.  What the heck does that mean?

The Road to Cardinal Valley by Earlene Fowler.  It means I am a robot.

Invisible Murder by Lene Kaaberbol and Agnette Friis.  A Danish robot.
