Noticed you liked Tim Gautreaux, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's similar to Gautreaux's work (Tim Gautreaux actually directed my master's thesis). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Hi, you're welcome. I'm glad I could help. HC is not user friendly when it comes to specific info. I put Linda in my contacts for e mail just in case I need it and don't want to have to deal with the run around again.

I thought it wa wonderful and will definitely recommend it to friends. I'm behind on posting reviews- I've got about 5 I need to get written before I forget what I wanted to say!

I haven't disliked any Georgette Heyer book I've read, yet. And that includes her biography. You could classify Heyer's romance novels into three categories: first, fun and witty; second, melodramatic and witty; and third, historic and witty. Each one is all good in my book.

Unfortunately, when I read most of Heyer's books, LibraryThing hadn't been invented. So I'm not 100% sure which ones I read. So I can't give a strong recommendation.

Perhaps you can check out the LibraryThing Georgette Heyer page to pick the most highly rated books. Or you can check out the various reviews for her books on Amazon.com. Either way is difficult because people tend to universally love her books.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm trying to finish a book I got from Early Reviewers (which I'm not liking too well so it's taking me forever to read) so I can get it reviewed and then it's on to my Santa books. I can't wait!!

I recently looked at your Secret Santa request. I know it's over but I wanted to comment.

I recommend any books by Georgette Heyer. She does historical romantic mystery fiction. You get the side benefit of learning about the social customs and language of the English Regency period. Ms. Heyer's style is so witty and humorous, you won't mind expanding your vocabulary to read her books.

My local public library has a lot of her books both hardbound and books on CD. Maybe you can check her out that way before making any purchase.

Sorry to take so long to reply. I did read the Pagan Stone. Have you? What do you think?
