ELIZABETH WONDERS WHAT HAPPENED TO...

*darts in, trips over suitcase, rights self, kicks suitcase across room*

Yes, I've been places, done things, and even read a lot.

:-)

So now I'm curious.

I've just started CARVED IN STONE by Vickie Taylor. I'm really enjoying the world, the depth of detail, the emotion, the whole tortilla. I have FLESH AND STONE waiting to be read next.

But then I read the copyright date, and realized that there hasn't been a third book in the series in 2007 or 2008.

BIG BUM-MER!!!

Does anyone out there know what happened to the series?

Enjoy the spring, the summer the time off and, of course, the reading.

Oh, and by the way, do you know if there are any books coming soon from a talented young author named Heather Lowell? I´ve really enjoyed reading her as well.

DFender said...: Heya EL,

Welcome HOME! Vickie Taylor's blog hasn't been updated in about a year or so and I've not seen any new release information for the series, either.

*shrugs*
Happy Friday-Eve-Day,

Lori Foster said...: Welcome home, Elizabeth!
Now that I've finished the Kresley Cole book, which was oh-my-so-delicious-page-turning-wonderful, I'll be starting Blue Smoke and Murder. Or I might save it from my trip to RT. A fab book makes those plane rides soooo much easier.

Your query about the series reminds me of when I first read Johanna Lindsey. I started with Anthony's story, which I'd gotten a LONG time after it's original print date. I ran to the store to get James' book... only to find out she hadn't written it!
I swear, I think I cried.
You can bet, the day that puppy became available, I was there snatching it up.
And it was worth it.

I just adore series. Love em!

Have a super-smiley day all!

elizabeth said...: Sirry--I'd love to read more by her myself.

Now, if only I had a magic wand for chronic and really bad pain...; 8:25 AM
elizabeth said...: aussie dee--Thank you! Guess I'll have to travel Down Under to get a used copy, 'cuz Amazon doesn't list the book at all.; 8:26 AM
elizabeth said...: dfender--do you suppose the lazy witch is taking a year off? ;-); 8:27 AM
elizabeth said...: jackietoo -- I'll try the URL. thanks!; 8:28 AM
wstridgerunner said...: I loved this series, I do hope Vickie Taylor writes some more in this series!

Ridgerunner; 9:10 AM
DFender said...: EL,
If the lazy witch is taking a year off I have a feeling it's well deserved... although so inconvenient! ;-)

elizabeth said...: dfender--you're a goddess!; 10:31 AM
elizabeth said...: ridgerunner--did you read two or three books? I can't find ANY sign of a third book in the US or Canada.; 11:13 AM
elizabeth said...: jackietoo--went to the website, but as it wasn't searchable for a title, I sighed and went elsewhere.

But thanks anyway! There are more websites out there than I'll ever have time to visit.; 11:15 AM
Melissa said...: I loved those books...and until you said that, didn't realize that it'd been sometime since I'd read the second one. Huh.
Maybe one of the blogs will be able to dig up some info on her....; 11:20 AM
Anonymous said...: Found Legacy of Stone by Vickie Taylor listed at Bordersstores.com. It's all on order here in Hawaii, but maybe at a store near you it might be available. Hope that helps.

Kathy H; 11:55 AM
elizabeth said...: Kathy H--I'll go to the Borders website and see what I can find.

Thanks!; 12:26 PM
talpianna said...: Elizabeth--have your tried abebooks or alibris yet?; 3:58 PM
elizabeth said...: Yes. No luck with abe. I'll try alibris, but not holding my breath.
*sigh*; 6:19 PM
elizabeth said...: No joy with alibris.

a lurker said...: I couldn't resist doing some internet sleuthing. Apparently, the third book isn't out yet due to some real life issues which I found out on this forum.; 10:25 PM
elizabeth said...: Thanks, lurker. I thought that might be the case. I know how real life can -- and does -- get.; 10:25 AM
talpianna said...: I can offer you a cracking good series to fill the time till it arrives: the Chronicles of the Warlands by Elizabeth Vaughan: WARPRIZE, WARSWORN, and WARLORD. The first was one of the best first novels I've ever read. The heroine is terrific: strong, smart, brave, and funny. The hero is worthy of her. It's sort-of-fantasy: not set in our world, but so far no real magic. The problems are real and huge: her duty to the Warlord to whom she's been given as consort-in-waiting vs. her duties as a sworn Master Healer; dealing with an outbreak of plague in a society that has never known real disease; and proving herself to the Elders of the tribes of her new people. Oh, and thwarting the various attempts to murder her....

(I tried to post this last night, but my cable connection went down. I've now finished the third book, and there is a supernatural element at the end.); 7:33 PM
Stella said...: EL: Looks as if Amazon UK will be the best sourse.

Cheers, Stella; 6:26 PM
