I absolutely love the children of the red king series and thought that this book was fantastic! It had an excellent plot and had me wanting more right from the start.

This isn't exactly a comment on the book, but Barbara herself.
Last week my partner handed me a book, "read this", says he. It is an old library book, covered in plastic, pages yellowed and musty by an author I've never heard of.
I fell in love with Barbara in the midst of reading the introduction. The book is High Tide in Tuscon.
Barbara is beautiful person who speaks to my soul and reaffirms for me that the human experience really isn't all that different person to person. The only real difference being the way we all choose to translate and express our experiences.
It occured to me today, while reading this new treasure to my nursing son, that Barbara is an Aires. I wondered how I'd ever know for sure. So now while I'm reading Powell's write-up, I'm exstatic about being right. Oh, the simple joy of being proven right!
Many blessing to Barbara and Powells.
