I just went and read the article. I actually drew my partners attention to it, and he has raised an interesting point....one that even I hadn't thought of before. Go figure.

Perhaps the reason no one has heard of Stouffers books is because they never existed until now.

I mean, think about it...has ANYONE heard of her? I certainly haven't, and I read A LOT of childrens fiction. I even took a course with it in univeristy, and they had some of the most obscure books for children, and she was nowhere in existence.

And the whole thing with her not coming out with it "until she had a good enough case to go forward" (I don't know which article this was from, but I read it somewhere) is a bunch of poopy. She wanted to wait until JK Rowling had gotten enough exposure, IMO.

But I'm getting away from the topic...state it again, perhaps the reason no one has heard of Stouffers books is because they never existed until now.

What does everyone else think about that?

Hugs to all,
Jamieson
