==Bray or Gray== |
|||
Dear Wikipedia |
|||
In J.K. Rowling's listing in Wikipedia you talk of the furore when she started to write her first Cormoron Strike novel. You state: |
|||
"Some also noted that many of the writers who had initially praised the book, such as Alex Bray or Val McDermid, were within Rowling's circle of acquaintances; both vociferously denied any foreknowledge of Rowling's authorship.[138]". |
|||
My notation is that Alex BRAY (according to your link refers to a Swansea City footballer). You should, instead, refer to Alex GRAY who is a Scottish crime writer and is appropriate in the contexts of the article. |
|||
For your consideration. |
