Notes

Kelly Wiens says:

Hi Lee Ann
I really did enjoy Sarah's Key when I read it. In fact, it was so vivid that I remember it as a movie... it's really weird actually - I have scenes in my head.
I am frantically finishing off the last 4 weeks of the semester. Have not started the final paper and that is likely an error! Then it will be to find a job. Sigh. Plan on being at Barnabas Jul 4 as hosts and the next week as guests.
Blessings to your family
Kelly Wiens says:

Hi Lee Ann... yes, read it but years ago. I'd like to read it again before seeing the movie. I remember it as disconcerting, and I wasn't sure I loved it by the end.
This month I'm reading the Twilight series since my daughter loves the books... I'm finished the 3rd and while I see it's attraction I've reached the part where I'm too old to appreciate the egocentric heroine!
I did read Julie and Julia last summer and am eager to see Meryl in the movie.
All the best, K
K.V. Johansen says:

Hi Lee Ann - No, I don't do my own translations; the publishers licence the translation rights and the non-English publisher finds the translator. I've had one book translated into Danish, and one into Macedonian, as well as the three in French. Macedonian is definitely the most exotic of my translations so far. Cheers - KV
Candace says:

Hi Lee Ann,
Thanks so much for giving me a heads up on Silent Spring. I have just finished listening to the audio book and can't stop talking about it. It is too bad the author died at 56, what an incredible woman. I am glad she spoke out. I learned a lot from her book. I have just received the audio book The World Without Us. I will see if I can start that one next week. What are you currently reading?
Candace says:

Hi Lee Ann Wiens,

I just ordered Silent Sprint and The World Without Us. There is a bit of wait for them but I should get shortly, I am look'n forward to reading them. Thanks for the suggestions. I try to do my part.
Trinity says:

I totally agree with you. What i love about books is that they can also take you back in time or bring you in the future. I also love books that can bring out emotions and fully capture my imagination. :)

My first novel for adults (my twentieth book, wow!) is now available for pre-order. It's set in the same world as the short story "The Storyteller" in the collection of the same name. I think the cover speaks for itself. Gods, demons, possession, heroes ...

Just a quick announcement to friends of my latest book, #3 in the "Cassandra Virus" trilogy. Jordan, Helen, and Cassandra are back in The Black Box. For those of you who really liked the Harveys, Harvey Two is in this one as well, but for once, he might actually be on Jordan's side.

If you have a baby or know of one who is just beginning to read, this book is perfect. I picked it up when I was waiting in line and I absolutely adore it. It's cute, beautiful and very well written.

And while I'm here, I'd like to announce that my own new book, the fourth in the Warlocks of Talverdin series, is now out. It's about a new generation of characters, so although it follows on from the first three novels, it can also be read as an adventure that stands on its own.

Marlowe Paul

See product details

A really funny, suspense-filled story, about a Victorian teen whose love-interest is a werewolf, whose arch-enemy is a crazed war-criminal, and whose summer holiday is turning out to involve too many assassins. I admit Marlowe is a friend of mine, but I'd love this book even if I'd never met the man!
