Wharevaaa!!! undecided
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by UjSizzle(f): 3:21pm On Oct 09, 2012
Robert Ludlum.

Wait lemme find the book
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 3:27pm On Oct 09, 2012
^^^ Lol. Ludlum? I hope you've read Ludlum before for I am a Ludlum fanatic. Those clues all point to Ludlum's evil and imaginary brother. . . . . .who is not Ludlum. In short, there's better chance it's one Saro Wiwa love child but not Ludlum.

Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by UjSizzle(f): 3:36pm On Oct 09, 2012

Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by UjSizzle(f): 3:48pm On Oct 09, 2012

Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by UjSizzle(f): 4:35pm On Oct 09, 2012
Here's mine then.

American based fantasy fiction writer
Author was inspired after reading Lord of the rings (authors books bears some similarities IMO).
Books always comes in series.

Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 9:45pm On Oct 09, 2012
C. S. Lewis and Tolkien were friends. I dunno if inspired qualifies his work. That's the only thing I can think of. I'm sure it's wrong anyways
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by dominique(f): 10:13pm On Oct 09, 2012

uj_sizzle: hehehe it's really not difficult

Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by UjSizzle(f): 6:34am On Oct 10, 2012
Another clue

Author writes epic fantasy.
This should make googling easier.
He shares the first name as another popular writer.
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 9:32am On Oct 10, 2012
Robert Riordan? undecided
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by kay9(m): 10:07am On Oct 10, 2012

vescucci: Wait, there can't be many male authors that have kicked the bucket and have been mentioned in the whole of the three pages of this thread, can there? *takes a deep breath* Can there?
grin I concur, there truly cant be.

Ok, ok... The author (who's been mentiond here SEVERAL times already) is no other than J.R.R TOLKIEN...yep, its him.
And the answer to the riddle is ''THE CHILDREN OF HURIN''. Yes, yes, the book was completed and published by his son, Christopher Tolkien. wink But seriously now, hasnt anyone read the tragedy of Turin Turambar and the House of Hurin? Ok ok, i'm just showing off grin

Lol. This is how magicians work. Misdirection. Tolkien is unfortunate that his middle Earth books are so popular. One would be surprised to learn that J. K. Rowlings wrote anything besides the Harry Potter books.

correct! You're obviously in love with fantasies
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by UjSizzle(f): 3:04pm On Oct 10, 2012
Next one.

Author's British.
Write children's book
known by numerous scenes of recurring characters.
Author's books are pretty much popular in libraries.

That last option's a give away.

Who's the author?
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 3:36pm On Oct 10, 2012
Enid Blyton?

Lol. I like taking wild guesses so don't kill me
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by kay9(m): 3:57pm On Oct 10, 2012
