BOOKS

  The books of Jay Margrave, published by Goldenford, are unusual and well researched. They feature a kind of ''immortal'' named Prideux, who finds himself in a succession of historical periods, befriending Anne Boleyn and Kit Marlowe, among others. The series is beginning to attract attention from all quarters.

PINS by Christine Todd

Christine has taken the very risky step of self-publishing her first novel, Pins. This is a witty, modern story set in Chicago, involving voodoo dolls, and a husband who gets everything he deserves. The writing is first class, and in easier times the book would have readily found a mainstream publisher. As it was, the American setting worked against it. Published by Red Anemone Books, it comes highly recommended.
