Ms. Aralo was mentioned in Hosts, as Kenji posted earlier.

So we have two, Ms. Aralo (Hosts) and Sal Roma (Conspiracies). I think there's more, I'll do a little research..........Remember, anagrams only......

Yes indeed, but Tooleman asked us to exclude The Adversary Cycle. (Or "Adversary Circle" as it's printed on the "Other Books by..." page of the pb THE HAUNTED AIR
)

Which is correct?
By the way, in Japan, we call it "Nightworld Cycle", not "Adversary".

It's Adversary CYCLE. Just another of the bizarre typos that seem to haunt Paul's books. I gotta say, as an old proofreader, I have never seen the like, book after book, by one author.

Thanks, Mike.
Your job is proofreader? Or it's your interest?

I used to work as a proofreader for a company called Wordflow. They dealt mainly in legal and scientific documents that had to be =very= accurate. We did it this way: I would go over the copy first. Another reader would check it. Then I would go over it again. We got pretty clean copy that way. But I was reading 8 hours a day. Pretty dry stuff too. And I found, after a couple of months, that when I got off the job, I =did not want to read for pleasure.= And I knew, "Michael, it's time to look for something else." The money was good, and I hated to give it up, but jeez... First things first. Reading's an even bigger part of my life than music, and I like music =a lot=, as I may have expressed now and then on the board.
So I got a job at Barnes & Noble. That was 23 years ago, this May 21st.
