She herself likes hard-boiled stuff, with "murder" in the title. I like historical things, and if a little mystery is thrown in, so much the better! I liked your review - it was more specific than most - so I went immediately to my online library site and put myself on the "hold" list. That list is very long *sigh* - so I would LOVE to win one of your extra copies! Either way, thanks for a great review. I can't wait to read "The Lady's Slipper".Chattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974779959315234846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-4939807704663793202010-12-09T15:37:50.395-06:002010-12-09T15:37:50.395-06:00This sounds different.

Very beautiful flowers, but oh so delicate. No wonder people are drawn to paint and photograph them and now to write a novel about them.<br /><br />ShaunaRoberts [at] nasw [dot] org<br /><br />Thanks for hosting the give-away!Shauna Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871768714926149114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-82855251686542381912010-12-09T12:03:53.936-06:002010-12-09T12:03:53.936-06:00This sounds like a fascinating topic and I would l...This sounds like a fascinating topic and I would love to read the book. thank you for the chance to do so.Valerie L.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-5101430759838453132010-12-08T19:32:36.661-06:002010-12-08T19:32:36.661-06:00I am looking forward to reading this book...sounds...I am looking forward to reading this book...sounds like a wonderful read!Lisa Madden Basshttp://www.lisa-bass.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-75219821088467286052010-12-07T14:30:53.505-06:002010-12-07T14:30:53.505-06:00Ooh!

Some of the readers of this blog may have seen a post of mine back in September/October about Moon in Leo, a novel set in 1678 in Furness in North West England: close both in time and place to The Lady's Slipper! I have come across very few books set in post Civil War England and was beginning to think this was a period that nobody else was interested in, despite the fact that it is a fascinating time of great turmoil,change and drama. Readers of this blog have been incredibly supportive and informative, and it's great to be able to say "thank you" again, and to say that Moon in Leo will be published in the spring of 2011. Perhaps Deborah Swift and Kathleen Herbert will start a new trend for novels set in Restoration England!Connie Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286314896270215904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-32682527091025287722010-12-02T00:17:38.023-06:002010-12-02T00:17:38.023-06:00Sounds like a great novel!
