I've been under a rock and buried in work, but I do love to read and live in South Texas. I am heading for the bookstore to buy the first China Bayles book. I'm excited!
Carla Grayson Just finished Bloodroot! Wow. Great book. Enjoyed reading about Mississippi and the history around there. Can't wait to start the next one!
An I've just ordered my first two China Bayles books and am looking forward to receiving them in the post. My mum recommended them to me and has already read several from the local library, but they don't have them in English... :-/
