This is currently very messy and in need of more sources especially not internet-based (the internet appears to only want to sell me her books secondhand...). In particular the works list is dodgy - likely incomplete, titles not quite right, and possibly misfiles between the 2 categories - also most are in need of dates. I also used jacket biographies of my copies of her first two books... don't know if a) am allowed to, b) if am - how to cite? Garble 15:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Citing is sometimes guesswork. I'd just say in the citation "book jacket". NickelShoe (Talk) 04:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Strange - there is a very short stub article in the Swedish Wikipedia, here: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Packer - does it say anything different? I don't comprendé Garble 16:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

It's definitely the same person--same birth and death dates, a South African writer. I added an interwiki link. NickelShoe (Talk) 04:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
