This is another good one. I checked this out on Amazon and discovered Georgette Heyer has written many historical novels set in eras other than Regency England. Something else I didn&#39;t know.

Also, my mom and I read books about the Medieval period and I&#39;d love to share it with her. She&#39;ll be 77 this year.

I am a firm believer that you can&#39;t have too many research books, unless they are a duplicate of course. I&#39;ve been working on building my Medieval library because I have a couple of WIPs but not enough information gathered yet to be historically correct.Amy De Trempehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04785965181851533070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591569756903833843.post-73129380898068331032009-09-29T20:56:41.014-07:002009-09-29T20:56:41.014-07:00Hi, Joyce!

The blue is gorgeous, and as long as I can get it in the liquid form so I may paint with it immediately, I&#39;ll be very happy. No wonder the brighter oil pigments are so expensive.<br /><br />Loved Triston and Siri&#39;s love story. Hope you actually get some time to work on your next book.
