Catherine Cookson Meets Victoria Holt: Book Review, "Frederick's Queen" by Suzan Tisdale
I grew up reading both Cookson and Holt from a young age. I have literally read all of their books, some twice. They were, without a doubt (and along with Phyllis Whitney) my favorite authors as a high school teen and beyond. Holt’s ability to create a world of gothic suspense is unparalleled, and Cookson’s ability to transform her character’s, both male and female, is equaled only by a few.

A Verra Verra Good Book: "McKenna's Honor" by Suzan Tisdale
Well, I’ve now read 4 Suzan Tisdale books in a row. Whew! I’m not obsessive, believe me. (Yea, right!) But when I do find a new author I like, I will tend to read straight through his/her books.
But, that’s enough of my personal foibles.
I loved, loved, loved McKenna’s Honor.
