When I was a teenager (late 1970's), I read several books by an author whose last name is Stewart. I remember one of the books (romance, espionage) as taking place in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. I remember loving the book, but have totally forgotten the author's name. Any clues?alundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293057921198218905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-14267101208536603412010-11-04T09:03:03.846-05:002010-11-04T09:03:03.846-05:00Linda,

4. ...1. Julia Quinn<br />2. Eloisa James<br />3. Betina Krahn<br />4. Sherry Thomas<br />5. Meredith Duran<br />6. Jade Lee<br />7. Catherine Coulter<br />8. Jane Feather<br />9. Liz Carlyle<br />10. Rosalind Laker<br />11. Victoria Holt<br />12. Michelle Styles<br />13. Linda Howard<br />14. Madeline Brent<br />15. Sarah Mayberry<br /><br />Having Julia Quinn's name pop up first surprised me--but maybe I associate her very strongly with historical romance? Eloisa James was easy, since I think of her next when I think of Quinn, and I'm a big fan. I've got many of my favorites listed, and authors I've enjoyed in the past, but Styles and Mayberry must be the result of living in Harlequin land for the past two months. *g*Evangeline Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132593133675388609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-22478914986438128422010-11-03T15:40:36.639-05:002010-11-03T15:40:36.639-05:00Nora Roberts
