Loveroflife

7. Mystery?

downdog

7. Yes, under her nom de plume, but not the genre for which she is best known.

susan3

Nora Roberts is the only one that comes to mind right now. She wrote under j.b. Robb I think for her mysteries. And many movies have been made from her stuff.

That was question 7.

susan3

I mean question 8... Oppppp

downdog

8. Not Nora Roberts. She's American, so can't be her.

queenmomcat

....meaning the author you're thinking of isn't American? Dunno if I should phrase this as a question (let me know if I should) but I'm guessing that the person you're thinking of isn't, say, Angela Lansbury?

downdog

susan, good guess with Nora Roberts and the nom de plume and movie rights. The person I am thinking of is not as prolific as Nora Roberts, but the movies from her books have grossed much more than those of Nora Roberts. Also, she is not a romance writer.

queenmomcat, correct not American (asked in Q4). No, not Angela Lansbury. This person is not an actor in movies or on stage.

queenmomcat

Thank you for the hint re. form of entertainment.

downdog

No problem. If you need another hint, let me know. I just realized I didn't mention TV, so to be clear, no acting of any kind, just movie and marketing rights.

Smaarty

9. J K Rowling?

downdog

Yes, JK Rowling. She'll never come close to repeating the success of the Harry Potter franchise, but she's the richest author in the world, so can pursue whatever she chooses to now. Great job, Smaarty,figuring it out - now it's your turn.
