He enlists the help of Anne Hayden (daughter of Edward Wynn-Jones) and Harry Keeton.Īvilion is about Steven Huxley's life in the forest. Mythago Wood tells the tale of Steven Huxley looking for answers about his brother, father, mother, etc. Gate of Ivory, Gate of Thorn focuses on the son, Christian Huxley. Mythago Wood is an exemplary exploration of the ideas of mythology and where those images that resonate so strongly with us come from, but its very much a high school diploma compared to Lavondyss Ph.D in metamorphic imagery. ![]() George Huxley's friend Edward Wynn-Jones goes searching with him in the forest. ![]() The Bone Forest introduces the Huxley family - father George, sons Christian and Steven. I had assumed that The Bone Forest was a sequel of Lavondyss since it was published later, but because it is a prequel, it did not bring resolution to any of the questions I had at the end of Lavondyss. He seems to like to branch off in tangental ways. Part of my confusion was that I expected sequels to involve the same characters, but many of Holdstock's novels do not. ![]() Okay, answering my own question, I think that I have pieced together some of the threads that link the characters and stories of Mythago wood. ![]() ![]() Her eccentric boss has spent his whole life searching for the resting place of the lost Ninth Roman Legion and is convinced he's finally found it - not because of any scientific evidence, but because a local boy has "seen" a Roman soldier walking in the fields, a ghostly sentinel who guards the bodies of his long-dead comrades. ![]() ![]() When Verity Grey goes looking for them, she may find more than she bargained for.Īrchaeologist Verity Grey has been drawn to the dark legends of the Scottish Borderlands in search of the truth buried in a rocky field by the sea.

While in Africa fighting under his rival Metellus, Marius meets with a prophetess who informs him that he will be consul seven times and become the First Man in Rome. With his alliance to the Caesars, Marius gains the political nobility that he needs to attempt to become consul. The novel begins with Marius, lacking political distinction and seemingly at the end of his career, forming an alliance with the Caesar family in marriage to their older daughter Julia. The book takes place over eleven years and shows Marius's journey to become the First Man in Rome with epic scope and historical accuracy. The First Man in Rome is the story of Marius's rise to power in the Roman republic and the story of his friendship with Sulla. ![]() ![]() ![]() See? Werewolf books are a guaranteed mood booster. It also doesn’t hurt that the fated mates trope-and therefore werewolf romances-is almost always higher up there on the heat level, since the character’s bodies recognize the need to get it on ASAP. There is something so deliciously decadent about big bad werewolves being absolutely powerless to love and their preordained mate. ![]() Much of my obsession with werewolf romance books comes via the fated mates trope that almost always permeates these paranormal books. Whenever I need a book that is guaranteed to delight or something to pull me out of a reading slump, werewolf romances are my very first choice. Werewolf romance novels are my comfort reads. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last month, he began his term as America's poet laureate.

The event was sold out a week in advance. More than 450 people paid $15 a ticket to hear him read from his latest book, ''Sailing Around the Room,'' which is on best-seller lists in Washington, San Francisco and Boston. Collins, who was raised in Jackson Heights, Queens, and teaches in the city university system at Lehman College in the Bronx, caused the literary equivalent of Beatlemania. The last time the center had invited him to read, in 1993, he had been a relatively obscure poet whose last volume, ''Questions About Angels,'' was on its way out of print. ![]() TWO weeks ago, the Poetry Center of Chicago sponsored a reading by Billy Collins at the Chicago Historical Society. ![]() ![]() But first she has to get her head around the new world of the Bureau, where mermaids, aliens and magicians are real, and her roommate is a weredragon.Īmari must compete against kids who’ve known about the supernatural world their whole lives, and when each trainee is awarded a special supernatural talent, Amari is given an illegal talent – one that the Bureau views as dangerous.
