This is a list of unpublished books by notable people, alphabetized by author. These notable people may be published authors, but not necessarily. ==Unpublished novels== *Sholem Aleichem: ''Mottel the Cantor's son'', left unfinished at the time of his death. *Charles Alverson: ''The Word'', ''Caleb'' and ''Lost in Austin'' *Allen Appel: ''Sea of Time'' (1988), unpublished novel in the published Alex Balfour Pastmaster series *L. Frank Baum: ''Our Married Life'' (1912), ''Johnson'' (1912), ''The Mystery of Bonita'' (1914) and ''Molly Oodle'' (1915). Reported in Katherine Rogers' ''L. Frank Baum: Creator of Oz'' and Michael Patrick Hearn's ''The Annotated Wizard of Oz''. According to Hearn, although not a published statement, ''The Mystery of Bonita'' is mentioned in contracts related to The Oz Film Manufacturing Company. The others are noted on file folders that once contained them and correspondence recovered from the Reilly & Lee offices, but the manuscripts themselves remain lost. The books were intended for adult readers, and correspondence for the first of these, ''Our Married Life'', indicates that, unlike his four published adult novels, he did not want these books to appear under a pseudonym. Frank Joslyn Baum's biography of L. Frank, ''To Please a Child'', claims that Maud Gage Baum burned Baum's unpublished manuscripts; however, it is known that much of this biography was falsified after Frank J. and Maud's falling out (including Frank J. being dropped from Maud's will) over the rights to the Oz books. *Mildred Benson: ''The Runaway Sea Lion'' (1964) *Amy Bishop: three novels, including ''The Martian Experiment'' (aka ''If Bullets Were Gold'') and ''Amazon Fever''〔(Irons, Meghan E.

Gawker )〕 *Richard Brautigan: ''The God of the Martians'' *Harold Brodkey: ''A Party of Animals'', a 2000-page manuscript in 1976 later published in a different form〔Smith, Dinitia.
