So I'm not really new. I moved about a year and a half ago and replaced the computer and lost all my bookmarks.

I could have asked Sue's daughter for her email and gotten the site from her again. But I always thought of it at odd times and could never remember when I saw her.

But I've found it again and am back.

5. How you found IBDoF - L.E. Modesitt's website
6. Name one book you would never recommend to a friend - The Children's Hour.

Hello and greeting to all. Enjoy your stay here.

I'm a former English and Art History professor turned novelist/editor/jewelry designer. I grew up in a house where we watched Masterpiece Theatre together. Those superb productions fed my literary hunger. No matter how I struggle financially, I always find money for books and music. Maybe if we started showing those series again, students would start reading again.

1. Favorite Genres: Historical fiction, mysteries, classic British novels

2. Favorite Authors: the Brontes, Jane Austen, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, PD James, Amanda Cross, Winston Graham, Ruth Rendell

3. Favorite Authors who are not in Favorite Genre: Emily Dickinson, Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Anita Brookner, Margaret Drabble, AS Byatt, Ursula Le Guin

4. How/Why you picked your Member-Name: It's the name of the heroine of my historical fiction.

5. How you found IBDoF: followed a link from Wikipedia

6. Name one book you would never recommend to a friend: Clan of the Cave Bear (once suffered through this horror for a literary group). I wouldn't even recommend it to my worst enemy.

7. Top 5 books/series (in no particular order)
a. Possession: AS Byatt
b. Poldark series: Winston Graham
c. Middlemarch: George Eliot
d. Great Expectations: Charles Dickens
e. Pride and Prejudice: Jane Austen

Welcome, Aurora.

If not too personal:

What books have you published?

sweetharleygirl · Post by **sweetharleygirl** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 2:13 pm

Hi Aurora, welcome!

aurora · Post by **aurora** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 3:50 pm

It's not too personal, at all, rip8fan1. Thanks for your interest.
I'm working on a series of books following an aristocratic family, their friends, servants, etc. from 1816 to the present day.

The first, Shadow In the Sun, pts. 1 & 2 (Xlibris) by Alex Hughes-Walton, came out in 2002, while the second, The Ennobling Interchange, is in the final editing stage. I'm also working on volumes three through ten at the moment.
