No, sorry. Anyone?
(I think I should stop playing this cuz my questions always seem to be way too hard.)

Well, since it's female, that rules me out, even though I'm from Colorado too...
Though I've not published anything yet, let alone won any awards for not publishing (though suspect if I were to publish at this point, people would tell me to just stay unpublished...)
LOL - sorry, thread starter here, wishing I had an intelligent guess, but my mind is in shut down mode...and don't stop playing, I'm always up for learning about more writers!

May I suggest that, like in the other Jeopardy! on TV, there be a time limit and if nobody rings in, we go to another question?

Agreed - and since the last question was posted on 7/20 - time for a new question:
The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of books about a fantasy land, by noted author C.S. Lewis. What do the initials C and S stand for?
*Bonus points if you can name all 7 of the chronicles in the "Narnia" series!
Oh and the answer here (after a Google search) proved to be Connie Willis - http://www.westword.com/news/connie...thor-hangs-out-at-a-greeley-starbucks-5891993

I came up with 42 novels.
The name of the young boy who is the most famous Swedish children's author's second most famous character (hint: the most famous character is a red haired girl with pigtails).

Shoot, everybody knows Pippi but I, for one, have no clue about any other characters from the same author. Can I get partial credit for running home from swim class on a winter Saturday morning of my childhood, my braids freezing sticking out, and staying outside until my dad got back from some errand so he could see me being Pippi?
41.
Reading order listed here: https://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/discworld-reading-order/ (Discworld fan is me.
) All credit to Maryn running home with the frozen pigtails.
Character name is "Tommy"? (Stab in the dark.)

Valliant attempts everyone, but the answer is Emil, a mischievous little boy who locks himself in the woodshed every time he thinks he deserves punishment.
Anyone else want to ask a question to restart this thread?

Sorry all, this thread completely dropped off my radar. (Then again, so has AW since the server migration kinda took it off my morning hit list for a week or so there)
But, I am hopefully back to checking in more regularly, so:
This character first appeared in “The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter”, an 1893 story in London’s Strand Magazine
(from this last week Jeopardy, which is what reminded me)
Answer:
?????

That's closer than I came when I saw the Jeopardy show. Duh... Usually I do okay in the humanities questions. It's geography and STEM stuff that kills me.
I've been trying to come up with a new question so Jason doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting. It's hard!
