Oh I'm in the middle of it....I'll wait.

Yeah, but don't hold your breath, like, I emailed her so I don't expect a reply until Monday.....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

OK well I've separated the books and done the bio for your author, so we'll see what comes up...

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

[Marianne]

I see what you've done already, looks good, with the photo and the bio, we can just add back the others if they really are his. Sorry to mess you about. But I do reckon at least one of the others wasn't his

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That's ok, and it does look familiar too.... hopefully your person can shed some light!

Many thanks!! You are so quick and so clever!

[Marianne]

looking at http://blogs.radionational.net.au/boo..., I'd say the Torpedo ones are his;

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Marianne, I've fixed that other Flynn now:)

Brenda wrote: "Thanks Marianne, I've fixed that other Flynn now:)"

Oops! When I said the Torpedo ones are his, I meant Tiger in Eden Chris Flynn. I looked at the photo and thought, yes that's the same guy, Aussie, editing magazines. And that article was from 2011, so before A Tiger in Eden was published. I think The Company Cat and The Great Unknown MIGHT also be his but I somehow doubt Greetings from Ocean Grove, New Jersey and Universumin pimeä puoli: Tieteen suurimmat arvoitukset pimeä aine ja pimeä energia. Anyway let's wait & see what the Text lady says.....

Hi Lovely librarians. Is it possible to get the cover up of The Films of Errol Flynn by Tony Thomas published 1969 by Citadel Press ISBN 0806502371. The book is listed on Goodreads but without the cover.

[Dale]

Also can I get the cover of Darkest Before the Dawn by Gwen Kirkwood as it's a great cover on the hardback please?
ISBN is 9870719809293 published 2013 by Robert Hale. Thanks

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Someone else has done the first one Dale, and the second one you have the wrong ISBN # - you've reversed the 978 / 987 at the beginning:)





Would you mind linking next time you do it - thanks:)

[Dale]

Thanks Brenda and anonymous librarian. Actually the Errol Flynn is not the same cover. The one I have has a yellow cover with red writing a pic of him sword-fighting. But I can just work with this one since it is a lovely shot of him if it's easier. Sorry about forgetting to link. The brain doesn't seem to be in gear lately. I really like the cover of Darkest Before Dawn Thanks.

Ah, there you go! If you could find your actual cover pic first, with the link, it would be great...I'll see if I can find that one, as I'm not sure who the other person was who put that one there:)

Will get back to you:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

OK 95% of all the ones I looked at had the purple cover, which IS the correct one for that ISBN (so they must have had 2 or 3 covers over the years with the same number). I found one as you described Dale, but it was miniscule - I tried to enlarge it but it just got blurry. So if you'd like me to create another book with YOUR cover (it'll have no ISBN as you can't use them more than once), if you could take a photo of the cover for me and maybe email it to me, and I can go from there...

The Claimant by Janette Turner Hospital

There you go Michael:) Do you want to add it to the New Releases thread and the Bookshelf please? Thanks!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Hi Librarians, I have an arc of Safe With Me by Amy Hatvany only my copy has a different cover and the ISBN is 9781743319376 is it possible to get a cover for this one as the number of pages are different. Thanks.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Julie, what does your cover show? I've just searched the ISBN and it comes up with Allen & Unwin, publisher, with the same copy as is showing on GR...

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Brenda wrote: "Julie, what does your cover show? I've just searched the ISBN and it comes up with Allen & Unwin, publisher, with the same copy as is showing on GR..."

It is apricot colour cover with four criss crossed daisies front and centre with the title below.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That's strange that it would have the ISBN with a different cover for you...I'll have a look thanks...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

How many pages does yours have too?

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Brenda wrote: "How many pages does yours have too?"
335 pages, it is an uncorrected proof copy which says it should not be quoted without comparison to the finally revised text. Does that make a difference to why it doesn't come up?
It's a lovely cover. From Allen & Unwin if that helps.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I would say it's because it's an ARC Julie, and it wasn't the final copy, definitely. I have searched all through Google and EVERY single copy has the same cover (bird cage with love heart). Allen & Unwin was the first one I went to, and they have the same cover.

The only way to get your copy on here is to create another one, with NO ISBN showing plus you take a photo of the cover of yours and send it to me... can you do that?

How do I send it to you Brenda?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've created the one with your ISBN, but this is the final copy which is for sale in the shops - Safe With Me by Amy Hatvany - so there you have the correct ISBN but not the cover....if you can do the photo, I'll do another one for you:)

Ok, got it.

[Marianne]

OK, Benda, I got an email back from Text about Chris Flynn, she confirmed that everything on this page https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... is current, and that on this page https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... the bio and pic are the same Chris Flynn but outdated. She said "(I believe Torpedo no longer exists, and Chris is certainly no longer the editor of that, nor is he fiction editor at ABR anymore)".
Also on that page Greetings from Ocean Grove, New Jersey and Universumin pimeä puoli: Tieteen suurimmat arvoitukset pimeä aine ja pimeä energia are NOT his.
Looking at the fans on that page, I guess that they probably are his, certainly the Melbourne writer's festival would be. The other fan is a Melbourne writer so that would fit too. I'm the only fan on the page with just the 2 books on it, so I guess you can delete that one, add those books, that current pic and the correct bio to the page with all the Torpedos on it and make a new Chris Flynn for the 2 books that aren't his? I will make myself a fan on the updated page.
Does this all make any sense?

[Sally906]

Hi there. I am currently reading Charlotte's Creek by Therese Creed.

The pages aren't included is someone able to add them?

Here is a link to the publisher page which says the page count is 446

Maybe just leave it as it is then. It all sounds too much hassle Brenda and I don't want to waste your time any further. After all , it's only a cover.

Oh phew!!! lol

[Marianne]

Brenda wrote: "Oh phew!!! lol"

I sent the two fans on the other page a heads-up that they are now unfortunately fans of a different Chris Flynn and how to fix it......

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done! When I saw they were there I thought they would have to fix it themselves;)

[Marianne]

oh, and the lady from Text said "Appreciate you taking the time to fix it."

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh that's nice of her:) Tell her thanks:)

[Marianne]

Brenda wrote: "Oh that's nice of her:) Tell her thanks:)"

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Congratulations! Have a wonderful evening! A great milestone Marianne:)

[Dale]

Happy Anniversary Marianne.
