I'm sure there are a few who need to be removed - please let me know.

Somehow, back in January, I failed to cross off Linell Smith's name. (An illustrator, she was the daughter of Ogden Nash.)

And, some days ago, to my chagrin, I found that Mary Ray (the British novelist born in 1932 who wrote a series on the Roman Empire) died in 2003!

In the meantime, check out this site - it's fun and I'm surprised it isn't better known.

"What else do readers of (writer so-and-so) read? The closer two writers are, the more likely someone will like both of them. Click on any name to travel along."

(It's not that scientific. I mean, who in the world would put Barbara Cartland and R.L. Stine on the same page?)

[Lenona]

Oh, and while I can't find an obituary for the Welsh sci-fi writer Brian Earnshaw, two sources say he died in 2014, so I had to take him off.

[Lenona]

And on top of everything else, according to Wikipedia, Janice May Udry died in May, but I can't find an obit for her either - only for her husband, J. Richard Udry, who died in 2012. So I'm wary.
