I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. I was sure I heard it on National Public Radio at least a year ago; sorry all you Elmore Leonard fans! ----- Original Message ----- From: Carrie Karnos To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 9:41 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: under the dome, again I thought Elmore Leonard was dead too, but Wikipedia thinks he's alive. At least the article about him is in the present tense, rather than the past tense. No mention of his death on his website either. Anyone else have a clue??

There are maybe 20-30 authors whose new books always zip to the top of the bestseller list, so you can bet that we'll take care of their books inhouse. These authors include: Lara Adrian, Mitch Albom, David Baldacci, Suzanne Brockmann, Sandra Brown, Jim Butcher, Lee Child, Tom Clancy, Mary Higgins Clark, Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly, Stephen Coonts, Patricia Daniels Cornwell, Clive Cussler, Jeffrey Deaver, Ted Dekker, E.L. Doctorow, Christina Dodd, Dave Eggers, Janet Evanovich, Christine Feehan, Dick Francis, Diana Gabaldon, Lisa Gardner, Malcolm Gladwell, Sue Grafton, W.E.B. Griffin, John Grisham, Charlaine Harris, Nick Hornby, Linda Howard, John Irving, Lisa Jackson, Jonathan or Faye Kellerman, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Stephen King, Lisa Kleypas, Dean Koontz, Jayne Ann Krentz, Elmore Leonard, Robert Ludlum (even though he's dead which you have to admit is a good trick), Debbie Macomber, Linda Lael Miller, Robert B. Parker, James Patterson, Jodi Picoult, Douglas Preston, Thomas Pynchon, Nora Roberts, James Rollins, John Sandford, Lisa Scottoline, Nicholas Sparks, Danielle Steel, J.R. Ward, Sherryl Woods, Stuart Woods. Hmmmm... looks like I underestimated the number of really popular authors. And I'm sure that there are others who I've forgotten. (I can hear some volunteers screaming "How could you forget X?" now...) Bottom line is that if you're unsure whether we'll process a particular book, please email me and ask. Thanks!

I'll take care of it inhouse, if you don't mind... Thanks!

I'll scan it this weekend and submit it monday.
