Mordred, Bastard Son (The Mordred Trilogy, Book 1) 15 reviews Douglas Clegg
Alyson Books, 2006
Wonderful.
+ Mordred's Side of the Story + The Retelling of a Legend
I found this to be a beautifully written, very poetically styled novel and I was hooked from the very start. The employment of the third person narrative for prologue and epilogue worked extremely well as brackets to the meat of the novel in the first person. Mordred is a highly sympathetic and ...

Putnam Adult, 2006
I laughed out loud...in public...by myself!
+ Loved it! + Nice Story
This book made me laugh out loud! That wouldn't have been such a big deal, but the book made me laugh out loud when I was in a shopping mall food court, reading at a table all by myself, and I attracted more than my fair share of attention when I started laughing so hard that I nearly slid out of ...

A Crown of Lights (Merrily Watkins Mysteries) 8 reviews Phil Rickman
Macmillan UK, 2001
"Thus We Banish Winter"
+ Modern day Agatha Christie/E.A. Poe + Coul not stop reading it!
I believe that it was Lord Peter Wimsey who once made a habit of collecting vicars, one of the more idiosyncratic of British countryside characters. Be that as it may, I'm sure the venerable master detective never anticipated a vicar quite like Merrily Watkins, determined minister, caring mother, ...

I'm not really much for vampire stories normally, but this is a well written set of books. the characters are compelling even the evil ones. The stories have a lot of action, but can get a little moody as is common in vampire and vampire hunter novels. Probably not for someone trying to break ...

This book will capture your interest and will leave you hanging with more questions. If your interest is in the field of archaeology, etc, you will probably want to "pass by, Horseman."
