[quote=""Tanzanite""]Does anyone know what she didn't write anything else (other than Phantom, which I haven't read)?[/quote]
Not having much luck with googling her, although I did find a small Wik entry.

I wonder if she's still writing? I picked up Legacy at a book sale last year but still have started it.

I decided I needed some nonfiction: Henry VIII's Last Victim by Jessie Childs (about Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey).

Just finished The Coffee Trader. Damn fine book and a keeper for me. Set in Amsterdam in the seventeenth century, David Liss knows the culture and setting and uses them for terrific effect. Not quite sure what's next, probably something mindless and a bit silly probably.
Anyone out there read the Blandings novels by PG Wodehouse?

This morning I read "Eunoia" by Christian Bök.
You may have heard of this short book. It has five chapters and each chapter uses just one of the vowels. (Chapter A begins: "Awkward grammar appals a craftsman." etc.)
It took him seven years to write, but less than an hour to read.
Each chapter does sort of tell a tale (Chapter E sort of tells the story of Helen of Troy) but you have to concentrate hard to discern it given the distortions imposed by the restrictive format. It's more impressive than enjoyable.

I finished reading the King's Grace by Anne Easter Smith this past week and started The Last Queen by C.W. Gornter. I did enjoy the King's Grace, but have to honestly say that I am enjoying The Last Queen even more. It's a real page turner. I love Juana's forthrightness, and her drive - what an amazing woman! I will be sorry for this book to end!
Just Finished "Monsters of Templeton" Lauren Groff....Somewhat interesting read...but very convoluted and all over the place with numerous sub plots and characters....Can't say I liked it...but the Templeton/Cooperstown/JFC/Mystique/History kept me turning the pages.....Today started Ariana Franklin's "The Serpent Tale", when finished I'll move on to her "Graves Goods"
