I read one of them some years ago, after it was mentioned here. I had
forgotten all about it until now. I shall have to put her name on my
list for the library or the used Paperback Bazaar.
Are you familiar with a website called fantasticfiction.com? If you find
an author you like, you can get a listing of all his/her books. It is
also broken down into series...such as "Anna Pigeon" books by Nevada
Barr. Or the J.A.Jance books, separated into the different series. I cut
and past them into Word, and then carry the little lists with me.
