wombat1138 | Cassie Edwards: more random sniplets

Well hey, Dorchester has a few free sample chapters available on their website. I probably won't poke particularly hard at them, in that if (when?) I find *one* example of plagiarism in a book's sample, I'll drop it and move on to a new one.

Not all books on Dorchester's Edwards list have samples available. Dates are as listed on the Dorchester site and may represent their reprint rather than the true original publication date of Edwards' book.

Savage Thunder (2001): no unique matches found. The closest candidate:

All Oneida boys and girls were taught to eat sparingly and healthfully. They had been taught that gluttony was a sin, that too many corn cakes dripping with maple syrup would bring on the bogeyman.

Both boys and girls were taught to eat sparingly and heathfully (gluttony was a sin: too many corn cakes dripping with maple syrup would bring on the bogeyman longnose).

but there's also at least one close paraphrase in Google Books.

Savage Skies (2007): no unique matches found; chapter is mostly stilted dialogue w/o much dsetailed description or infodump. However, SBTB already has an entry for this book.

Savage Flames (2008):

Sunlight poured over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and water, shining and slow-moving.

Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, The Everglades: River of Grass, orig. published in 1947 and quoted here:

The miracle of the light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slow-moving below, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades of Florida. It is a river of grass.

Douglas' book is still under copyright, and thus only partially available via Google Books.

No other chapters available on site, alas.
