editAs a sociological writer, this person seems to be interesting, is she a romance author, or does she focus on the city life? --Masssiveego 07:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I really wish 170.161.69.18 would stop vandalizing this page. Stlom 00:24, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
She's not a "romance author." Cofer writes literary fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. She's widely respected and has won some major awards for her work. User:jpoetaster 6.6.06

Death (December 30, 2016); and a note on "Spanish naming customs"
editMs. Cofer died on December 30, 2016, according to multiple reliable sources. I have updated the entry accordingly.
It appears that this entry is mistaken in stating that (as in the name of, e.g., Fidel Castro Ruz) "This name uses Spanish naming customs: the first or paternal family name is Ortiz and the second or maternal family name is Cofer."
Rather, the subject's use of her full name follows a common American pattern (as in the name of, e.g., Hillary Rodham Clinton): That is to say, Ortiz was JOC's birth surname or maiden name, and upon marrying she took the surname of her husband, Charles John Cofer.
I will be correcting the error upon finishing this note.
Information Regarding Line of the Sun Book
editWhat is some of the commentary that the author has given on her book, Line of the Sun, and what critical reception/praise did her work receive in 1989 that it was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize?
