I am a piano teacher and writer. My first book, Loyalty's Web (see below on my shelf) is being re-issued this summer by Leatherwood Press. I love writing medieval fiction, and reading about it, too. If you look closely, you will see that my shelf is divided into fiction books I love, favorite children's books, LDS fiction I've read, medieval...more »

    Also, since you teach piano, and you're interested in the Mary Burchells, there is one called "When Love is Blind" about a concert pianist who loses his sight in a car accident. Mary Burchell is british, so they all take place in England. That's a bonus for me, since I'm kind of an angophile (mostly because of Georgett Heyer:)) Anyway, one of my girlfriends from college who was also a music major got hooked on them, too.

    Joyce,
    It's always great to meet another Heyer fan! I own most of her books, and I go on jags where I read them all in the space of a couple months. Great stories, and written before sex scenes became required for a romance. She really reminds me a lot of Jane Austen, though Austen was writing of her own time, whereas Heyer was writing of parents of grandparents time. I also love her sense of humor. Faro's Daughter, The Reluctant Widow, and the Unknown Ajax are some of the funniest ones, IMHO. Funny, with a bit of suspense thrown in. Always a delicious read. I'm glad to hear someone from the LDS readers group enjoys my tastes. The Regency group seems to enjoy the racier regencies they have now.
    My mom introduced my to Heyer when I was in junior high. My sisters and I all read them, but Candace doesn't enjoy them like I do.

    How could I forget the Disney? It's the best! (No offense to Schaum). I like your "logo" too. :)

    So far I really like the Count of Monte Cristo, even though I'm not very far along yet. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm always on the lookout for a good book.

    I'm very excited to pick it up. Please do check out the LDS Authors and Readers group I've created. I'd like for it to be a group where we can have free discussion between authors and readers, improve the market, take over the world . . . huh, oh yeah. That last part was a slip. Heh, heh, heh.

    Your review on "The Power of a Patriarchal Blessing" caught my attention. Thanks for posting it. Glad we can be Shelfari friends.

    I love Shelfari, too. But I haven't been reading lately and haven't been able to put new books on my shelf. It almost makes me feel guilty. :(
