I would very much love to do more Laws of the Blood books and plan to in the future. Laws vampires are created with black magic. Laws are urban fantasy, Primes are paranormal romance. The Primes books are romance stories with vampires. SS: The Laws of the Blood are vampire stories with romantic elements. Q: Can you explain the difference between the Laws of the Blood series and the Primes Universe? Would you like to do more in the Laws series? Do you do any crossovers between the two series, like putting a character from one in the other? 8 time travel novels, 8 historical novels, 2 contemp suspense, 1 science fiction novel, 2 epic fantasies, 13 vampire novels, plus a lot of novellas and short stories in anthologies.

Description - The White Girl by Tony Birch Now in B format, the superb novel from leading Indigenous storyteller Tony Birch exploring the lengths we will go to in order to save the people we love. ![]() ![]() Manchester did not survive to finish the third volume, and enlisted the help of journalist Paul Reid to complete the task. Not a moment of it was boring, and while I’d say the book doesn’t dethrone David McCullough’s John Adams as my favorite biography, it does join it there, in equal splendor, although for different reasons. For folks who binge-watch TV shows, that is the equivalent of watching about 195 40-minute episodes back-to-back. The audio books are more than 130 hours in length, the equivalent of listening non-stop for 5-1/2 days. The three books total more than 2,000 pages. ![]() It is, officially, the longest biography I have ever read, far taking the 3-volume Theodore Roosevelt biography by Edmund Morris. ![]() Yesterday, I finished reading William Manchester’s massive 3-volume biography of Winston Churchill, The Last Lion. ![]() ![]() While Penman does a better job with Richard I than many other writers would have done, he doesn’t carry that same emotional resonance for me at all. The Sunne in Splendour was a maginificent book about another controversial Richard, Richard III, and the main character of that novel has lingered in my memory for years as a haunting and completely believable human being. ![]() ![]() However, I do have to say with some disappointment, as I did with my review of The Devil’s Brood, that it lacks the emotional punch of her earlier works, The Sunne in Splendour and the Welsh trilogy. ![]() Like all Penman’s books, this one is meticulously researched, well-written and sweeping in its scope. The two most important characters, other than Richard himself, are his widowed sister Joanna and his young bride Berengaria. The cast of characters is large - large enough that I kept getting minor characters confused. This novel follows his career just for two years, during the Crusades and his unsuccessful attempt to capture Jerusalem. Richard I is a king with a larger-than-life legacy, loved by some and hated by others. This book, as you might guess from the title, tells the story of Henry and Eleanor’s most famous son, Richard I of England, also known as Richard the Lionheart. ![]() Lionheart is the latest of Penman’s sagas about the Angevin kings of England, following her two volumes about Henry I and Eleanor of Aquintaine, Time and Chance and The Devil’s Brood. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is interesting to see some of the received ideas and opinions which have, over the years, become almost facts, well and truly debunked, but it is not necessary to have this background knowledge to appreciate the arguments, which are internally coherent. The book is aimed primarily at students and scholars however, while a challenge to the specialist, it can equally be enjoyed by the general reader. this book Martin Millett describes his aim to write an interpretative of the economy and society of Roman Britain based on a synthesis of modern archaeological research and publication.
