Exactly! I couldn’t have said it better.

I respect the writer but would have a hard time respecting the “author” or celebrity that would use a ghostwriter and not give credit.

That’s the one I meant.

I really need to read those books! There is just not enough time in a day for all the stuff I want to read!

Hey, you’re a trusted colleague; don’t ever be afraid to shoot me a link!

I’m okay with paid writing in and of itself (that’s what I do) – but in the book world, for autobiographies, etc., writers should receive front-cover credit. Fiction ghostwriting I just can’t justify, though.
Thanks for your thoughts!

I had to check to see if there was a new Sherlock Holmes movie after the Guy Ritchie one with Robert Downey Jr. I loved it, though it was not at all accurate—it mixed a bunch of different stories but somehow worked with Ritchie’s genius behind it. Lots of fighting and action and comedy. Maybe there’s another one I don’t know about yet? If there is, I want to know!

I hate doing this, but here’s a link to a post I wrote about Michael Dibdin, who wrote a Holmes story that was unreadable. http://findanoutlet.wordpress.com/?s=sherlock+holmes (don’t know how to make a link in a comment).
