Everytime I go searching for non-bestselling title, I end up looking in a couple of different places, but I'm willing to look. Because that book is in a different place, however, other people find it. I guess its a toss up.Bookseller Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16740546395821645741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002022.post-1135124834463212872005-12-20T16:27:00.000-08:002005-12-20T16:27:00.000-08:00I've had trouble findng my authors too. Especiall...I've had trouble findng my authors too. Especially if they write different genres and use different names for each one. <BR/>If I know the title, I just walk up to the courtesy desk and ask. I love spending an hour or two browsing, but not LOOKING for a specific book. Very frustrating.<BR/><BR/>You mention L.A. Banks. You know, I recently picked up Minion by happenstance. I fell in love with the author, style, topic, and story. I can't get a hold of her second and fourth books, but I've read the rest. I know I'm missing some awesome action. I'm amazed that now that I've read her, only now am I hearing mentions of her. She's brilliant. I hope more people read her books. I'm glad to see you mention her.<BR/><BR/>I hope your back feels better too. I have a chiropractor that I swear by when kinks and wrenchings happen and I end up looking like Quasimodo...or at least feeling like I should.<BR/><BR/>If Jim Butcher adds serious romance to his wizard, would he suddenly find himself in the Romance section???<BR/>How weird would THAT be??<BR/><BR/>BTW- I am SO happy to see and hear that Nicole stopped by to help. I knew she was the one to go to. She's super!!<BR/>Congrats on the books in the side bar..looks great!!<BR/><BR/>:)Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573730655117969888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002022.post-1135117787759802782005-12-20T14:29:00.000-08:002005-12-20T14:29:00.000-08:00Interesting you should mention Mary Janice Davidso...Interesting you should mention Mary Janice Davidson. I never know where to look for hers--it just depends on the bookstore. I have no idea where I'd put it if the choice were up to me. I'd just like to be able to find it without traversing the entire store.The Urbanitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011833654296013597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002022.post-1135103586311822352005-12-20T10:33:00.000-08:002005-12-20T10:33:00.000-08:00And sorry to hear about your back.

Thanks, Bookseller Chick!<BR/><BR/>While I <I>do</I> believe that cross genre can be some of the most exciting/break-out books, I fear that the confusions you mention might be just enough to bottle up the chances for a new author. Should it be that way? I absolutely agree with you that it should not. I wish those people who are getting the sh*t scared out of them would take some Pepto. *wipes mouth* It even tastes good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
