Nope, never heard of her before. I see my local e-library has a copy of her 5 part 'the Lion of Wales' series - using King Arthur and Modred as background - but the premise doesn't really appeal to me. For historical murder mysteries, no one will ever better the Cadfael books IMHO.

Can you judge a book (or series) by the cover?My short answer: yes. In many cases you can identify whether it is a book/series that will appeal to you.

After 70 years of reading, I now read more for pleasure than any other reason. I know what I like, and overly violent covers put me off the book. The new "cartoon" style artwork covers don't appeal to me. I'm looking for British-set books and often the cover art leads me to those books. The cover alone isn't enough to sell me a book, though; I still read the copy that gives an idea of the plot and characters, and a page or two so I can tell if the writer's style appeals to me as well. Covers do help to sell books, even if the effect is subliminal.
Why do I find these two days after nominations have closed??
