second in the "Cresperian" series I told you about last week. This book
was very enjoyable and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
I was thrilled to hear from both Darrell and Stephanie that they are
beginning work on the next book in the series so guys, please get to work, OK?

Shuttle STS-281" and I am in the middle of it right now. It is a good story about
a shuttle landing tragedy that is not quite what it seems, and it is a real

and recommended. I am always excited to discover a new author and I will be
following her writing career for sure.
