Almost everyone can name at least one author that you would love just ONE more book from. Either because they’re dead, not being published any more, not writing more, not producing new work for whatever reason . . . or they’ve aged and aren’t writing to their old standards any more . . . For whatever reason, there just hasn’t been anything new (or worth reading) of theirs and isn’t likely to be.
If you could have just ONE more book from an author you love . . . a book that would be as good any of their best (while we’re dreaming) . . . something that would round out a series, or finish their last work, or just be something NEW . . . Who would the author be, and why? Jane Austen? Shakespeare? Laurie Colwin? Kurt Vonnegut?
Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!
Got it here! Happy BTT!

My vote would be for Pheobe Gilman who was swept from the world of kidlit far before her time.
This one was hard. Mine’s up.

Another Dorothy Sayers Lord Peter Wimsey book. Because I’ve read all of them and would love something new in her style.
Another Pern book of the quality of the first 6 or so books in that series. In my opinion, Todd’s books are not up to the standard of his Mum’s early books, but are better than her later stuff. I’d also love another book in the “Crystal Singer” series.

I didn’t stop at one – or even half a dozen! My answer is here.
I would love at least one more book by Terry Brooks on the Magic Kingdom! I keep waiting for him to write one & he keeps writing other books, driving me mad!

I’d have to say that I’d like to read one more book by David Gemmell. I remember just chancing upon one of his books on the shelves of a Walden and ever since then there’s been no comparison in terms of style for the adventure fantasy genre. Sadly, he passed away earlier this year. I think I’ll miss seeing new books by him the most.
Oh dear…I am a week behind….will be posting about this one….this Thursday
Me too, Danielle! Here’s mine: http://mymiddlenameispatience.typepad.com/my_middle_name_is_patienc/

I’m late!
I wish the Rama series by Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee (first book Rendezvous with Rama) had not gone so dramatically downhill. Rendezvous was *wonderful*, Rama II was okay but not quite as good. The third book was so awful I couldn’t finish it. I never even attempted the last one. Sadly, it seems ACC is only writing in collaboration these days, with ACC providing the basic plot and his collaborator providing most of the prose. Perhaps Gentry Lee’s writing has improved, but from what I’ve read in this series and what I could make through of Cradle, I’ll be avoiding Clarke/Lee joint efforts.
I’m quite anxious for Iain M Banks to release another culture novel.
