I thought heaps of her books had been reissued. Saw heaps of them over in the UK and also on Amazon.co.uk

Oh, lucky you then.

I'm on the other side of the Atlantic. Only a few of her books have been reissued in the US. And I have them all. Except for the one which comes out in December.

Might be worth the while for you to look at Amazon.co.uk or Ebay.

I hate to wait for books knowing they are available in order countries.

Shall have to try that. Did find a nice European site that had historical fiction. But I didn't see any of hers. Maybe I should do some more looking. And I'd probably only find used older copies in the US.

Nefret, have you tried Book Depository? I would think the Plaidy UK reissues would be readily available on there.

I've found most of the older Plaidy books pretty easily used, though. They crop up a lot on eBay, and though I had to wait a few months, several ones that I had been looking for showed up on PaperbackSwap.

I've come across several wonderful finds at PBS, some Dorothy Dunnett and Plaidy too.

I have the Kings Pleasure and The Concubine but have yet to read them, every time I think I might I'm burned out on the Tudors.

Oh, thanks for the suggestion. They even have a US based site. Think that I shall have some fun here.

nona- I had to go visit the Plantagenets for a while. Then I went back to Tudors for a bit.
(I skip around time periods very often.)

Now am the proud owner of The Lute Player and Crown of Aloes. Oh, how I love that site now.

One of my website visitors alerted me to a missing Norah Lofts novel, and when I went to make sure all of her historical novels were listed, I was astonished to see how many there were! She used settings in medieval and 18th-19th century England repeatedly, but she also wrote novels set in the ancient Biblical world, in the Caribbean, and the Dutch East Indies. I've just put up a blog post about the novels I added to the site. She wrote a few contemporary novels, as well, though of course I haven't added them at HistoricalNovels.info.
