Some more info

@Oldbeeg: Hello again! Hope you don't mind my leaving some tips for your article here. I could not resist doing some digging on my own on your behalf. :) Why? Because I like Colemans books and I've had the pleasure of chatting with him on Twitter, and he's a really nice guy that deserves an article. These links will help you along, especially the one from the NY Times.

Fact on this page: Reed’s novels have been translated into seven languages.
This article about Coleman from the New York Tomes is really a gem. It writes about his early life, what jobs he had before, how he met his wife and on and on. You can use all of it since it is a solid article in a respected paper. Ooops! I saw now that you already have it on your list, but why have you not used more from it? There is so much usable stuff in it.
This page also has some bio info on him. Since it is written by an independent book store, you can use it. You can also use it for a quote, like "In an interview with Heirloom books, Coleman states that he has been influenced by writhers such as...."

If I find something more I'll let you know. Best w.carter-Talk 19:57, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@W.carter: Hi! The NYT article has been referenced on the page, but I will utilize more of the information. The translated into seven languages I found on examiner.com, but discovered that is a prohibited web site when I tried to save the page with it referenced. Thanks for finding it on a usable site – I'll be able to put that back in the bio. I hadn't realized independent bookstores could be used as references, and I thought bookreporter was considered a blog. There are so many things to remember when choosing references. Again, many thanks! It's wonderful to have an expert researcher helping. (BTW, Ditto said meow!) Old Beeg _{··warble··} 01:09, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Oldbeeg:No problem, just hope it helps. :) The bookreporter has "a" blog attached to it but otherwise it is a stable, independent site about books and authors, and the bio is not in the blog section. While I have not done articles about writhers I have done them about painters, and then independent galleries and auction houses can be used as references if the facts are not written in a blog, so I presume that the same thing is ok for writers and books. One really has to read the "small print" to know what sources one can use. Fingers crossed now, you write very well and have a good structure in the article. Meow! w.carter-Talk 08:28, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, the reason the bookreporter is mistaken for a blog is that a "b" appears at the http-adress, but this time the "b" does not stand for "blog" but is just the logo of "bookreporter". Confusing? Yes. As is llife. Best, w.carter-Talk 09:24, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
