And my first post said I like some and not others. And many posts have said good things about her books.tarot heart said:Ok everybody, I don't think anyone GOT my question here. I asked what everyone thought of her books, not her. I was disappointed to find out that she "scripted" the deck. At this point, I don't even know if the artist of Pagan Cats knows anything about tarot or she just created cards based on what Ms. Moore gave her in the script. I don't really care about the pseudonym aspect at all. I just mentioned it because it was a fact that people may not have known because her name is not mentioned on the deck.

But YOUR first post did also say, and more prominently: What do people think of this author as well as what did people think of her books. And that you were "disappointed" that she had written under a pseudonym - as so many MANY authors do. I quote it as a reminder to you:
tarot heart said:Hi all,
What does everyone think of the books written by Barbara Moore that comes with many tarot sets. I was kind of disappointed to find out that she has written the book for Tarot of Pagan Cats under a pseudonym.
What are your thoughts on this tarot author?
th
So now you say you don't care about the pseudonym aspect at all ?
And then you raised a separate point that implied that she had written "too many" companion books. Which, again, has nothing to do with the quality of her work - except in so far as publishers think well enough of her to hire her a lot. Which suggests that she is doing OK. Publishers don't hire writers if people show their dislike by - not buying !
I say again that the very fact that I hadn't noticed she wrote the book for the Gilded and thought (off the top of my head, when I wasn't thinking ) that it was Ciro's work shows - to me - that she manages to fit what she writes pretty seamlessly to the deck she is writing about - and that in the case of a scripted deck, it is more than appropriate for the scripter to write the book to go with it.
So - I think she's OK - and I like some of her books but not all. And she can write under the name of Winnie the Pooh if she likes - it makes no difference to WHAT she writes, or to its quality.
