I have in my collection a paperback by "J. M. H. Lovegrove" titled The Guardians: The Krilov Continuum, which is "a Millennium Paperback Original First Published in Great Britain in 1998 by Millennium, a division of Orion Books Ltd" (ISBN 1-85798-536-2). The verso opposite the title page carries the declaration "J. M. H. Lovegrove is the pseudonym of an Arthur C. Clarke Award shortlisted author."

Curious to know whether this was the same writer James Lovegrove with whom I was already familiar, I did some web searching, starting with but not confined to this article.

It appears from various sources easily discoverable (including James Lovegrove's own website, various reviews, etc.) that "J. M. H. Lovegrove" is indeed a pseudonym of James Lovegrove, and that this is seemingly the only book on which it has been used. Though obviously intended as the first of a series, tied in with the (then)

[sic] (whose logo the cover and title page carries, as does a last page advert for the channel), it appears that no further volumes have (so far) appeared. I have seen no evidence that "James M. H. Lovegrove" is the writer's actual (i.e. fuller) name, though I may be mistaken on this point.

In view of this, I suggest that:

• the first line of the lede should be amended to remove the "M. H.";
• a new subsection "Writing as J. M. H. Lovegrove" should be inserted after subsection 3.5, "Writing as Jay Amory", with this title as the (sole?) entry;
• a redirect from J. M. H. Lovegrove to this article should be created. (Currently, searching Wikipedia for J. M. H. Lovegrove does not suggest this article as a page containing it, although searching for Jay Amory does as the first entry.)

Does anyone have further or alternative suggestions? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.211.131.202 (talk) 19:37, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

After further research, I've found from The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (current online edition) that:

• this author's full name is James Matthew Henry Lovegrove, so "J. M. H. Lovegrove" is if anything less of a pseudonym than his usual byline of "James Lovegrove";
• a second volume of the series in question was published – Beserker: The Guardians, Book 2 (Millennium 1998). (TEoSF gives the title of the first volume in the same format, rather than the one I took above directly from the book.

I'll edit the article accordingly in due course, pending any comments from others (possibly @ThaddeusSholto: may have some thoughts?) {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.211.131.202 (talk) 08:28, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see no mention of the short story "The Wheezing Man" contained in a post War of the Worlds anthology called Scarlet Traces. It is a Sherlock Holmes cross over into (of course) H G Wells. 2A00:23C4:2204:7D01:2C65:184A:408F:1A20 (talk) 13:01, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
