His central-and perhaps unsettling-insight was that, when it came to series fiction, it didn’t matter who in particular wrote the stories. He had sold several dime novels and was already a prolific writer himself before he hit on what was to become his hit-generating, money-making formula. ![]() ![]() Stratemeyer, the son of German immigrants, was born and lived in New Jersey. All these “authors” were just as fictitious as the novels they were supposed to have written, and all were the creation of Edward Stratemeyer and his Stratemeyer syndicate. and the rest weren’t even pen names in the usual sense since there was no single author behind any of the series. Emerson (“Ruth Fielding”), nor Margaret Penrose (“The Motor Girls) and many other beloved writers of popular series fiction. Dixon (author of the “Hardy Boys” series), Laura Lee Hope (“The Outdoor Girls, “The Moving Picture Girls,” “The Bobbsey Twins”), Victor Appleton (“Tom Swift”), Alice B.

All in all worse book I've purchased since 2020. 6.The chemistry between these two was so forced it was almost non existent. This book had a lot of triggers - reader beware. Devon - LOLOLOL What a clown and scumbag. How do you make Belle the strong female for 3 entire books and then make her the whiniest weakest heroine ever? So weak. There was easily 6 tropes going on here and neither advanced the story or the characters. ![]() Pick a trope or two and actually build on them. TOO many tropes and not enough follow through. The fact that she even pointed out when she was acting like a child (at least once a chapter)made it worse. Belle - The MOST immature heroine to date.
