Most of the rest (maybe all) are historical fiction and some sound very attractive but I too am daunted by the huge list.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-41000021719983793562014-02-04T12:43:39.612-08:002014-02-04T12:43:39.612-08:00Tracy, I thought I'd red a couple of this seri...Tracy, I thought I'd red a couple of this series, but my records show just one, called Blood Lines, and I can't remember anything about it.
