A Library Book

This year has been about discovery and extending the discovery of my book. Some may think that having their book standing on a shelf, or buried among the greats, would make for poorer discoverability. In reality, I discovered all of my favourite authors—Mercedes Lackey, Katherine Kerr, Tamora Pierce, Anne McCaffrey, Ursula Le Guin, Andre Norton, even Tolkien and Kipling—I discovered first, through my local library. At that time, a good cover was enough to have me hooked on a series. I've read all of David Eddings, Nancy Drew, and so many classics. I discovered 101 Dalmations by Dodie Smith—still one of my favourite books to read and re-read. The movies have nothing on the original book.

Not everyone can afford to buy books. Also, how many times have you bought a book only to realize it's a dud?

So libraries are the ultimate try-it-before-you-buy-it, and it costs you nothing to request a book from a library (especially with digital websites, you can request them from the comfort of your home!)

Here's the information you'd need to request mine:

A Lion's Head (ISBN 978-1069401878)
A Lion's Pride (ISBN 978-1069401892)

Children's Books

Best Friends (ISBN 979-8312359015)
Which Feeling (ISBN 978-1069401809)
