Great, we have the Arrows of the Queen and Winds trilogy on Talking Books. I am starting to read the Storm books on tape for my wife, to be transfered to reel to reel. Do youknow if NLS has the Storms books already read? Who reads the Black Griffon? Maddelen Bussard reads all the others.

I finally broke down & bought a copy (mainly because my husband noticed there was another Laurel Hamilton book out & insisted on going to the bookstore). Right now, I'm about in the middle; but I remember somewhere else in either Winds or Arrows he talks about how he saw this fancy horse unattended in the middle of the street, so he jumped on her back & tried to get to go, and the "horse" turned its head & gave him an amused look. I have to wonder if that is what is going to happen here. :) Until later, Sarah S. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!

Both Misty and I went through that with a fine tooth comb... Tell me it's not true? Did anyone spot them in the sample chapter and not tell me? (*grr*) Paul --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

The fastest way to get a copy is either firebirdarts.com; amazon or enquire of Something wicked - at least the London Branch carries US versions of the books.

Yes, the black Gryphon is out on talking book, as well as the White Gryphon and Silver Gryphon. Braille is my preferred method of reading, however, talking book is a close cecond. you may want to call your cooperating NLS library and see what they have in store. They should try to do an inner library loan with other libraries if they don't have that particular book available, but I know that those three are definitely on talking book. I am not certain of the storms trilogy, but I am certain that it it is out. I have to call my library on Monday to order some books anyhow and I will let you know. I can't remember the narrator for Black Gryphon, but I will let you know that as well. I moved two weeks ago and those are still in the box!! Maddelen Bussard reads the rest of the series?? Well, it's worth reading all over again just for that. she is one of my favorite narrators!! If you have any questions, feel free to email me privately.
