Seana, I...Thanks Sean, I'll look for those.<br /><br />Seana, I'm not big on westerns honestly, but if I come by one of his that is one I'll check it out.<br /><br />I'm also enjoying the fact that his books seem to be mainly stand alone novels. I have so many series' I'm reading right now I'm hesitant to pick more up, (even though Lauren Willig is next on the list since she is coming to town for a book signing).Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-81102170698404434132010-10-06T11:30:09.380-05:002010-10-06T11:30:09.380-05:00"Freaky Deaky", "Glitz", "..."Freaky Deaky", "Glitz", "Rum Punch", and "Mr.Paradise" are ones I really liked.

They get reprinted frequently, so it shouldn't be too hard to find one.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-73588022139396231762010-10-06T08:55:08.699-05:002010-10-06T08:55:08.699-05:00I'm a huge fan of EL.

I never read this one, so I skipped the details in your review (I hate any hints about any book I read) because I am going to read it. The last one I read was "Killshot" and liked it very much.Sean Patrick Reardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051252366031997054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-28761479443106802082010-10-06T06:09:39.593-05:002010-10-06T06:09:39.593-05:00He is really talented, and his characters are inte...He is really talented, and his characters are interesting.

He is really the consummate artist of keeping many plates spinning in the air, and although I don't really remember all the twists and turns of the plot, I do remember the high diver and the civil war reenactors vividly. You make me want to go back and catch up with him a bit. He seems to write about one a year. For some reason, they tend to make great movies, too.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.com
