MY FAVORITE BOOK

Bride of the Rat God OK...so it is not everyone's favorite...but I love
Pekingese dogs...so it is mine!!
Set in Hollywood in 1923, it features a daffy
leading lady named Chrysandra Flamande...not her
real name, of course...and thankfully a best
friend named Norah, who does most of the "work" in the
book while Chrysandra vamps and fusses over her adored
Pekingese pals.

The Pekes!! CHANG MING
BLACK JASMINE
BUTTERCREME
"They turned their heads at the sound of her voice,
three flat-nosed faces, weirdly human, like enchanted
children deformed by fairy malice. Norah frowned for
she had never heard them bark this way. Like Mr.
Sandringham, she had thought Pekingese were yappy until
she met them but in fact they were very silent little
dogs, seldom barking except in their roughest play."



THOSE WHO HUNT THE NIGHT Returning home to find his wife in a strange coma, London
Professor James Asher is requested by vampire Simon Ysidro
to help his people stop a killer who is hunting their graves
by day and exposing them to the sun.


DRAGONSHADOW (1999) Dragonbane was always one of the very best of her books with
its middle-aged witch and warrior-scholar, and a dragon taught
that love which is not, normally, a thing of dragons. Hambly
now revisits these characters a few years on--a new disaster
strikes their world in the shape of dragon-riding mages.

John Aversin is still fighting dragons, and also studying
their ways. After one such battle, he witnesses a truly
disturbing scene: a wounded dragon being resurrected by a
wizard driving a jewelled glass spike through its skull. John
journeys to seek the advice of Morkeleb, the great Black Dragon.
