Does Fred write under another name?"

I've checked him out and it doesn't appear that he does. So it doesn't qualify for November's criteria...

[Sarah]

Oooh... would you believe I've never read any of her's, but I've heard they're excellent! I'll be in for this one!

The Hunter
(Parker #1)

Or we could read Snow by John Banville who also writes as Benjamin Black. I think it is still available on Netgalley.

OK..but that seems mean. Who shall I ask to nominate the book? A neighbor, a relative, a stranger?

[Kathryn in FL]

Fred,
You are missing the point.
You don't use a pen name...
She nominated you not following the rules for November's selection. That is the criteria. It isn't about her being your wife.

Kat, his other name is Steve Mosby. I searched and searched until I discovered it and then found that I actually owned one of his old books written at Steve :-)

[Sharah]

The Killing Lessons by Saul Black who also writes as Glen Duncan.
