Catching up a little sooner

I'm posting this a little sooner than usual. Partly because I'm trying out a new posting tool. I hope it will make it easier to include authors links.

I'm not quite sure one of the Mercedes Lackey books but the rest are first time reads with some new and some favorite authors.

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly Her web site is here: http://www.jacquelinekelly.com/ This is a YA book about an 11 year old girl growing up in small town Texas in 1899. She develops an interest in the world of nature and is aided by her grandfather, a veteran of the Civil War. A very good period piece

Talboys (short story) by Dorothy L Sayers. A brief return of Lord Peter, solving a mystery that involves his son. See the last post for Sayer's links,

Swan for the Money by Donna Andrews. A favorite author. This is her latest. Good mysteries often very funny with an interesting, if sometimes odd family. Her web site is here: http://donnaandrews.com/

The Case of the Missing Servant by Tarquin Hall His web site i9s here: http://tarquinhall.com/ In my last post I mentioned a mystery featuring Inspector Ghote. A mystery set in India. Ghote is a policeman. Vish Puri on the other hand is a PI living in a more modern India (best guess about 20 later) and in some way a more disturbing India.

The Nine Pound Hammer by John Claude Bemis This is another YA book but a fantasy loosely based on American folklore. The title refers to John Henry's hammer. The story takes place some years later and involves Henry's son although he's not the view point character. The authors web site is here: http://www.johnclaudebemis.com/

The Black Swan by Mercedes Lackey. Her web site is here: http://www.mercedeslackey.com/ This is a retelling of the Swan maidens tale.

Doom With a View by Victoria Laurie Her web site is here: http://victorialaurie.com/index.php You don't have to believe in psychics to enjoy these mysteries.

Sacred Ground by Mercedes Lackey See above for link. A story using elements of Native American folklore (principally Osage) to solve a modern mystery.

ETA:

The add on I was using is called

Deepest Sender

. It seems to have worked very well. Since it works in a separate window I didn't have my usual problem of forgetting to change tabs before looking up links. LJ does recover (usually) but somethings, like tags disappear. Only complaint is I can't use Firefox's zoom capabilities. With my eye sight I often need it.
