They say a little mystery is good for you; it spices up your life. Well, here’s my little mystery–and it’s still unsolved.
At various places on the Internet, I’ve found references to a book called The Lion’s Share, by Julia Kent… and Lee Duigon.
Gee, I don’t remember writing that.
I can’t find out what kind of book it is: only that it seems to have been published in 1988 by Pinnacle Books. I, too, had books published by Pinnacle around that time.
As for my co-author, Julia Kent, I haven’t been able to find out anything about her, either. There’s a Julia Kent who’s a musician, but it can’t be her; she doesn’t look anywhere near old enough to have been writing a book with me in 1988.
Maybe I’m just not using the right search terms. I dunno. It’s really puzzling. Did Pinnacle somehow turn one of my rejected manuscripts into a book, and not tell me about it? Maybe Julia Kent knows.
It would really cheese me off if there was a bad book out there with my name on it. Then again, it might be a really good book to which I’m not entitled.
If you can provide any information that might help solve this mystery… let me know!
I have heard of sleep-walking and sleep-eating, perhaps this is a case of someone unknowingly writing a book (The Lion’s Share) in their sleep.
It would’ve been mighty hard to mail the manuscript in my sleep, though.
