Making a List, Checking It Twice

From Dave's Desk:

As 2010 draws to a close, many bookstores and websites are choosing their top bestsellers for the year. Here at Kingdom Books we have another kind of list: the authors whose work we have sold in multiple different titles. Since we started Kingdom Books more than eight years ago we have enjoyed opportunities to carry an author’s long-term body of writing, not just one or two copies of the latest releases. One big "plus" is that we get to know the writer and the books better this way. Here's part of our current list:

Dave Zeltserman

Eliot Pattison

Archer Mayor

Louise Penny

Gerry Boyle

Laurie R. King

Nevada Barr

Dennis Lehane

Donald Westlake

Lawrence Block

Arthur Upfield

Walter Mosley

Deborah Crombie

Carla Neggers

Leighton Gage

Colin Cotterill

Cara Black

Peter Lovesey

Michael Connelly

Barry Moser (illustrator)

We look forward to more good reading and conversations in 2011.
