IBDoF: Want an Author or Books added?

Post by Terry »

Ok people! I am running out of inspiration. Give me an author you want added and I will do my best to enter all the books I can find blurbs for by that author. Or if you just want certain books added let me know. Private message me or email me through the site.

You were right. Mr. Darnton :wink: had 4 more books. I added them. I liked the storyline of a couple of those books and I think I might read them. Thanks.

I'm working on it Gollum. I added a lot of books to Kevin J. Anderson, although not his graphic novels or his anthologies yet. Wow, he is prolific.

Thanks Rip

I will get to Iris Johansen and Suzanne Brockmann, probably today sometime. I am still working on Gollum's list. I like to be as thorough as possible and add every book I can find on each author I am working on.

That's fine!!

That is a great thing to be!! That makes it a lot easier on all other (and future) DE's, and obviously makes the database more complete and, thus, more valuable to anybody looking at it.

Ok Gollum

I have finished with all of the authors you asked for:
Kevin J. Anderson
Peter F. Hamilton
China Mieville
Richard K. Morgan
Charles Stross
Alastair Reynolds

except Merceedes Lackey
She is much more of a challenge to make sure I have all her books in in the right series. I think I just need to add all the anthologies she has stories in. Anthologies take much more time to enter also.

Be sure and check out the authors and see if you think I got everything right.

If you are still looking for people to fill out - Chris Roberson

He's mostly complete - but there are a few books missing.

I just entered the one titled End Of The Century - and I still have to type in the rest of the Blurb...
The wonderful thing about not planning
Is that failure comes as a complete surprise
And is not preceded by a period of worry or depression

Carla Neggers - she has a few books missing (at least), and none of her books are listed in series, though she has a few series.

I added the blurb for you Kilty. I also changed to the old 10 digit ISBN. Most of the time the picture won't come up if you use the 13 digit ISBN. Most of the time it won't take you to the book on Amazon either. I think I reported it, but it still hasn't been addressed.

I will add the rest of his books.
