20 Questions
Comments
-
I'm just assuming from your answer to author? that she does something else and then has written a book, is that what you meant?
-
Let's see if I can answer without giving too much away.
In fairness, a) [person] is best known for her writing, and b) she supported herself, in the main, by her writing for most of her adult life. But chances are none of us would recognize her face.
-
HI everyone!!!
5. Is she a writer or fiction or nonfiction?
-
5. Both fiction and nonfiction.
-
Well, that question really clarified it, didn't it!!!! Sorry to have wasted a question.
6. Still alive?
-
6. No, not alive.
Today, she's best known for fiction.
-
7. Did she write in the second half of the 20th century?
-
7. No, the primary body of her work was in the first half of the twentieth century.
-
8. Did she die before the 70's?

How about?
9. Adult or children's author?
-
10. Is the first initial of the author's last name in the M-Z range
-
9. The strictly truthful answer is: she wrote fiction for adults.
10. No, the first initial of the author's last name is not in the M-Z range.
I know, I know...! But rest assured, her writing style's familiar to a number of us.
Off to bed in a moment.
-
11. Did she write historical fiction?
-
Lover: before I answer the question, what's your definition of historical fiction?
-
Story set in a significant time in the past with fictional characters and sometimes with historical figures. Examples: Book Thief, Memoirs of a Geisha, Kite Runner, or the Poison Wood Bible.
-
11. Then a resounding no, the author did not write historical fiction.
-
Ok, good night and good rest. Don't want to keep you up too late. In the meantime, I'm going to continue to try to read your mind.

1. Happy Birthday, She who Began 20 Questions.
2. I'm awake, more or less, and near my computer. But I probably need another pot or two of tea before I feel as energetic as my Little Boy Cat, who's making sure that my socks are safe for me to wear, flinging rattly mice about and bedeviling his sister. since about four a.m.

I'm going to apologize right now---I don't know if it's my computer or BCO but I'm not getting notifications about updates to the forums.
Anyway.....
12. No, not mystery.
But there are a couple of answers that are open to interpretation: does she write historical fiction? does she write for adults or children?

Queenie, I have the same issue.

13, No, not horror. (or romance, or fantasy)
-
14. Was the settings for many of her works outside the US?
