WELCOME

SEARCH BY AGE

At the end of a long day, or long work week, we all look for some means of escape. Some people watch their favorite sitcom re-runs to relax. Some people go to the movies. With small children, I am housebound in the evenings, and I prefer to pick up a book.

When I pick up a book, I want to sink into a world that will tune out my own. Sometimes I reach for well worn volumes that I have already read several years past, and I escape into another world, peopled by characters that are as familiar to me as my own family. The books that I prefer tend to have strong heroes or heroines: sometimes extraordinary people with magical powers, sometimes ordinary people whose actions make them extraordinary.

When I find an author that I like, I tend to read ALL of their work. When I am finished, I search high and low for other authors that can take me to other worlds on other adventures. On this site, I list the authors that I have discovered and their books that I most recommend. If you can recommend other authors, please do!! Send me your opinions, please.

FEATURED SERIES

Bardic Universe

Young Adult and up

The heroes of these tales by Mercedes Lackey are street musicians, gypsies and magical creatures. The stories are detailed and engaging. Each of the books tells its own tale focusing on characters that we've met in previous narations. The evil villains tend to be the powerful and power-hungry while the heroes are the down-trodden, but within this framework the stories are entertaining and a fast read.
