Book Description

Elizabethan England comes alive as its young queen struggles to stop a serial killer who uses fire as a weapon. From commoner to courtier, from the delights of rural England to the streets of teeming London, the queen and her coterie turn detectors in Karen Harper's acclaimed mystery series.Smitten with spring fever, Elizabeth Tudor escapes London for fantastical Nonsuch Palace in the sweet Surrey countryside. There she hopes to relax and pose for the official royal portrait for which she is holding a competition. Elizabeth is both delighted and dismayed when her young court artist, Gil Sharpe, returns early from schooling in Italy, where he has also been spying for the crown.But one of her artists is burned to death, and portraits of the queen are going up in flames. When she hears that her rival, the dangerous Mary, Queen of Scots, has been peering in mirrors and announcing, "I see the next queen of England!" Elizabeth summons her Privy Plot Council.Has the arsonist been sent by foreign foes or is it someone in her own court? Or is the "running boy" apparition really a ghost out to avenge a terrible past tragedy caused by the Tudors?Time is running out, because the enemy who stalks the queen means to destroy not only her portraits and artists, but her very life.

As usual, the book was superb. When I read one of the mysteries, I cannot put the book down until its finished. I always look forward to the next one

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous historical mystery .......2004-12-04

On a whim, Queen Elizabeth I decides to leave her London residence and stay at Nonsuch Palace for a while. Beside the courtiers and the rest of the retinue who make up Elizabeth's inner circle, she takes along artists, who are painting a state picture of her and she will pick the one that is the best and send it all over Europe. Gil Sharpe, who was sent to Italy to learn with the masters goes to Nonsuch and decides to enter the competition to paint his Queen's portrait.

Since Nonsuch is small, many of the people who traveled with Elizabeth are staying in the courtyard in tents. One of the artist's tents catches fire, killing him and his assistant. It is determined that the fire was deliberately set using a mirror and the sun to start the flames. A second artist's tent is also burned in the same manner. Elizabeth convinces her Privy Plot council to help her smoke out the killer but the perpetrator is very cunning. Elizabeth finds her own life is put in danger by a person without mercy.

This is the seventh Elizabeth I mystery by fabulous historical mystery writer Karen Harper and it is a thrilling reading experience because there are so many suspects with too few motives. Readers see the intelligence of the queen as she maneuvers Mary, Queen of Scots into a marriage of her choosing and plans to use her as a public relations tool to prove she is a queen in total command of the kingdom she rules. Fans of the Ursula Blanches series by Fiona Buckley will definitely love this glimpse into a bygone era.

Book Description

THREE PRINCESSES BESTOWED WlTH THE AWESOME POWERS OF TRILLIUM TALISMANS...

It is now twelve yeras since the events recounted in Black Trillium. Haramis has devoted herself to the study of magic and science; Anigel and her loyal husband, King Atar, govern their provinces with affection, seeking always to teach and see the right side of life; Kadiya has not changed - she's still impetuous, wild ... and careless. There are problems but the world seems peaceful enough.

Then it all changes. Kadiya loses her talisman in the deep waters off the Windlorn Isles and Anigel's husband and children are kidnapped by a mysterious sorcerer who goes by the name of Portolanus. The ransom for their return? Anigel's talisman.

The world is losing balance. Storms rage, wars loom. And Portolanus is smiling...

4 out of 5 stars Not Bad At All........2002-01-01

I enjoyed the second book of the series abour the triplet sisters and the sacred trillium. This story takes place not very long after the first book, the Black Trillium. The world is in relative peace with Anigel as the queen of the land, Kadiya as the ambassador between the folk and humans, and Haramis has taken place of the Archimage, Binah. As I said, the world is peaceful but far from perfect. The sisters have still discovered very little knowledge about the power that they inherited from the first book, and their country does not get along with the surrounding pirate nations.

The story really begins when Kadiya loses her amulet in an unfortunate accident, and a new character, a wizard called Portolonious, comes seemingly out of nowhere and threatens the balance of the world.

I liked this book, although it is not as well done as the the first one. I did not like the fact that Haramis almost falls in love again with the sorcerer Orogastus, which seems to me that she still has not solved anything from the first book! Also, the sindona, living statues created by the vanished ones, have an original, but rather boring, method of almost single-handly winning the battle for the triplet sisters. The good parts out-weigh the bad parts of the book, however.

5 out of 5 stars exellecent adventure.......2000-08-25

Blood Trilium is a wonderful sequel to Black Trillium(written by Julian May, Andre Norton and Marrion Zimmer Bradley). This is also written by Julian May and seems to focus on her Anigel which she created in Black Trillium.

It still takes place in the world of the three moons only twelve years after the triplet princesses defeat the sorseror Organtus and save their knigdom from the evil king Voltrik. Haramis the newly oppented protecter of the country is still learning how to use her powers while Kadiya lady of the eyes is making peace between humans and the folk. Anigel and Antar are the rulers of the two thrones and have three children.

By misadventure Kadiya loses her talisman wereupon it falls into the hands of an prolantus(a new foe), and Anigel gives hers to him in ransom for her husband and children. Now only Haramis has her talisman but there are rumors that prolantus is the sorceror Organtus whom she loves.

Blood Trillium is one of my favorite books and if you read it i'm sure it will also be one of yours!

5 out of 5 stars Incredible...Again!.......2000-03-15

After reading Black Trillium, I immediately started searching for this, the next book in the series. Combining many of the elements of its predecessor, Blood Trillium once again delves into the World of the Three Moons. The characters remain engaging, and the plot is as fast-paced and exciting as before. I especially enjoyed the quest of the three sisters to understand the power they wield and the place it has in their lives, mirroring the quests for the talismans in Black Trillium. I am now searching for the next book!

5 out of 5 stars Is there going to be a sequal?.......1999-12-28

I found it while browzing in the library and the cover didn't seem to appealing. I did check it out and it went home and I didn't touch it, but when I did I was hooked. Even though I haven't read 'Black Trillum' (and I'm planning too) it made enough sense. I don't know what it is about it that I liked. The fact that...well I don't know. It was just a really good book and it's on top of my favorites list!

1 out of 5 stars Stick to sci fi... *shrug*.......1998-03-21

I found this tome and the previous one in the series to be very poor. The scope of Mays writings just doesn't come out here in the same way as the Mileu series. Perhaps if fantasy books are to your taste this will rate as more pulp but if the story of the Remmilards interested you in this I'd suggest you just re-read intervention! It'll save you a couple of bucks and make a far more rewarding read.

                  Are you forever rushing around, fending off chronic exhaustion? Are you desperately overcommitted, afraid to say no? Do you have fang marks from being bled dry by energy vampires? Does the onslaught of violence in the news leave you drained? If so, you're the victim of a hidden energy crisis. To resolve it you need more than traditional solutions such as eating well, getting a good night's sleep, and exercising. Here at last is the complete prescription to stop you from feeling constantly drained and enable you to live a more vibrant life: the Positive Energy Program created by Judith Orloff, M.D.

                  Dr. Orloff is the pioneer behind Energy Psychiatry, a new field that addresses the subtle energetic components of health and behavior. Energy Psychiatry blends the practice of mainstream medicine with an emerging scientific understanding of subtle energies, revered by many cross-cultural healing traditions as our life force. In Positive Energy, Dr. Orloff explains this exciting new discipline and how it led her to formulate ten essential prescriptions for boosting energy, improving relationships, and combating energy vampires. The prescriptions are:

                  The purpose of this program is to make your life easier. Each prescription has clear instructions for practicing the simple, powerful exercises Dr. Orloff gives her patients and uses herself—plus, there's a "Treat Yourself" section to help you relax and enjoy the program's full benefits. Following each chapter are Dr. Orloff's interviews with luminaries who share their personal secrets about how they use a specific prescription to generate more energy. You'll discover how Quincy Jones's intuition opened up after brain surgery, Larry King honed his interviewing techniques, Naomi Judd recovered from hepatitis C, and Jamie Lee Curtis deals with draining people.

                  Dr. Orloff says, "We can't stop the negative circumstances of our time—our cell phones will keep ringing, e-mails will keep coming, people will be rude, our children will be demanding, and bad things will happen in the world. But we can learn ways to protect our energy so that we can stay centered in dealing with the stresses that arise." Positive Energy shows you how to slow down time to match your natural rhythms, allowing you to be fully present for your life. Learning this can make the difference between an exuberant life and one you're always recovering from. Filled with Dr. Orloff's warmth, humor, and compassion, Positive Energy is your tool kit for transforming fatigue, stress, and fear into an abundance of vibrance, strength, and love.

                  Wonderful information! And it's explained simply for all to understand - no mysteries here. We'd all be happier people if we'd nurture our energy in every moment.

                  5 out of 5 stars Positive Energy.......2007-07-17

                  Have you every came home from work feeling completely worn out? Have you ever felt suddenly depressed and overwhelmed after talking to that relative that is constantly complaining? Do you ever eat food that you know is unhealthy because you think it'll make you feel better?

                  Positive Energy examines the concept of energy. This book draws a direct connection between energy and the way we live. When we eat foods that give us energy, make use of our own daily energy patterns, and seek out positive people in our lives we become naturally more energetic, able to cope with stress, and become more creative. Conversely, when we push ourselves beyond our natural energy limits, take on the emotional baggage of others, and ignore our own needs we automatically become depressed, overwhelmed, and fearful.

                  Positive Energy details ten different strategies to increase healthy energy and decrease harmful energy. These strategies range from fairly obvious answers such as discovering personal self worth and adopting a healthy energy creating diet to less obvious solutions such as recognizing that we are unconsciously taking on the emotional baggage of others. I didn't realize how easily I was taking on the baggage of others without even a conscious thought of what it could be doing to my energy level.

                  Judith Orloff's advice and suggestions are helpful. The book is well written and entertaining. Her personal style comes through, making her a mentor to be trusted. I enjoyed hearing her speak and find her writing style equally as fine as her speaking.

                  The message of Positive Energy is to be mindful and from mindfulness comes a new kind of freedom, both in knowing one's self fully and in being fully present in one's life.

                  Dr. Orloff offers great information about how to deal with life's issues. Where she's especially strong is as an empath and it's as an empath that her voice is most authentic.

                      I have had this cookbook now for several months and I have tried several recipes. They have all worked beautifully and gotten rave reviews. The best part however, is the fun reading and the asides that are spinkled throughout the book. I'm here ordering three more for friends for Christmas. Can't think of a better gift!

                      A friend gave me How To Make Love And Dinner At The Same Time for my birthday last month (she knew what a crazy life I lead and thought this book might help). Nice to have a giggle as you're making dinner. We've loved every recipe we've tried --- my family tends to be picky eaters, so you have no idea how happy this makes me! Can't wait for Rebecca's next book!

                      5 out of 5 stars Rebecca Field Jager makes it simple, tasty and fun!.......2004-04-26

                      I've had this book for three months and have rediscovered how perfect the slow cooker is for my family, thanks to Rebecca. I've cooked more than 25 dishes now and they have all been a success with my family and friends. People now think I'm some kind of gourmet chef thanks to this book, and the recipes are all simple, some with only 3 ingredients. Some of my best successes have been Warm Bean Salsa, Carmelized Red Onion Dip, Sticky Wings, Chicken Bites In Thai Peanut Sauce, Tropical Pepper Pot, Thai Beef Curry, Hot & Sour Pork, Chicken Tarragon and Pasta Primavera, to name just a few. This is just a perfect cook book, and is on top of that, it's so much fun to read Rebecca's stories and background info.

                      I am a big fan of How To Make Love and Dinner!

                        Part history of a species, part personal memoir, and featuring a healthy dose of wry humor, Clea Simon's The Feline Mystique shares the tale of her particular cat (Cyrus) set against a backdrop of interviews and statistics on cats throughout the world. Smoothly blending mythology with modern stories of dedicated feral cat rescuers, feline fanciers might bond with this book as tightly as they've bonded with their own wee beastie.

                        The focus is relentlessly female and a happy counterpoint to urban myths and ancient folk tales about lonely women and their up-to-no-good pets. Simon walks us through her initial bond with a young kitten, through the warm years of record-clawing, arm-kneading, keyboard-walking, veterinarian-terrorizing cat companionship, and leads us gently through the sadness of parting with a beloved animal. You won't find practical tips on health care or soapboxes about the problem of strays in the city--just page after page of individualized love and fascination. From Norse goddess Freya and her flying cats to references of a study done on the annual kill of an outdoors-living housecat to an interview with Barnum and Bailey's female tiger tamer, each detail helps construct a solid picture of the multifaceted relationship possible between a woman and her cat. --Jill Lightner

                        Book Description

                        This sophisticated exploration of the bond between women and their cats examines everything from the history of cats (Cleopatra) to the stereotypes of women who choose to live with cats (the 'cat lady') to the power of female images relating to cats (Catwoman). It is also a moving memoir of this award-winning author's relationship with her own cats, and will deepen any reader's understanding of the feline in her life.

                        5 out of 5 stars Women and Cats - a wonderful and mysterious bond.......2007-03-01

                        This is a great book, especially for those that would like to know WHY so many wonmen are adopted by cats! We never really own a cat, nor should we and I think women understand this, as explained in the book. Cats are part of the family and because of that, the bond it strong. This book helped me to understand why.

                        5 out of 5 stars A Kitty Connection.......2006-04-21

                        This book has been very insightful for me and some of my friends (this was a great gift item!). What I found most intriguing was the reconstruction of the make-up of "The Old Cat Lady" myth. It makes sense that it was built out of confusion, disdain, and the urge to make women feel repressed.

                        The stories presented here are very enjoyable, and I found myself retelling them to several friends. It's nice to realize a bit of a community here.

                        I thought this book was going to be totally unrelated to most of the other books I've been reading lately that are about Wicca. I was pleasantly surprised to find a little blurb about Wicca in chapter 3. I am definitely glad for the positive coverage, the more informed people are about various ways of life, the less bigoted the world will be.

                        5 out of 5 stars a fantastic book.......2005-04-23

                        A great book for any women who loves cats. It tells about the very apprent female and feline love affair that's gone on for thousounds of years. It's really informative and interesting. It will make you feel closer to the special feline in your life. Remarkable book.

                        4 out of 5 stars why we connect with our kitties.......2004-07-04

                        This book is a valuable addition to any cat lover's shelf. Author Simon interviews women of all ages, backgrounds and professions to find out just what holds this bond with our cats in place. Much of the pleasure of reading it comes from comparing your own relationship with your cats, both past and present, with the women interviewed and the author herself.

                        Among the topics explored are: why are women/cats stereotyped so harshly and often similarly; why cat hoarders are so often female and why they do what they do; the mythical and historical connections between women and cats; how cats treat our significant others and what that says about how we feel about them (and how we let them treat us); letting go of our cats when it's time for them to pass on; and how our cats choose to communicate with their owners.

                        5 out of 5 stars Great book for those who know cats.......2004-02-06

                        If you know your cat's looks, meows, and feelings, this book makes sure you know you aren't crazy! We can understand cats as well as they understand us. I really enjoyed The Feline Mystique. It has wonderful cat stories, as well as great information that all cat lovers need!
