This challenge is all about the authors name as it appears on the cover of their book.
The books you read for this challenge can only be read for this challenge. They must be read on or after April 30, 2012 in order to get points. You may earn up to 6 points for this challenge.

1) Author that goes by their first, middle and last name w/o the use of initials. (i.e. Susan Elizabeth Phillips)
2) Author that uses an initial in place of one or more names (i.e. J.D. Robb, or Laurell K. Hamilton)
3) Author whose first and last name start with the same letter, or a letter directly next to it in the alphabet. (i.e. if an authors first name starts with a B, the last has to start with an A, B, or C)
4) Author whose last name starts with a letter at the end of the alphabet. Letters T-Z.
5) Author whose last name starts with a letter at the beginning of the alphabet. Letters A - G.
6) Authors name that uses an odd spelling of a common name. (i.e. Kelley Armstrong, Robyn Carr, Tera Lynn Childs,)
