Hello!

(I'm really just introducing myself here)

So, I was at my local library a few days ago in order to pick up some reading (just finished finals for the semester, so I was really in the mood to relax).  So I found a book that looked like it might be kinda fun.  As I pulled it off the shelf, I glanced at another book, The Trouble With Kings.  I read the back cover and decided to grab that too.  I finished The Trouble With Kings the next day, and, of course, had to look up the author online.  So, after a bit of searching, I decided to check my library to see if there were any other Sherwood Smith books.  I picked up Crown Duel (parts I & II) and finished that last night.  When I was done, I read all of the outtakes.  Needless to say, I absolutely loved them!  I just finished ordering The Trouble With Kings, Crown Duel, and A Stranger to Command on Amazon.  I usually don't order books until I've read them, but my library doesn't have anymore of Ms. Smith's books, so I ordered A Stranger to Command anyway, because I'm sure I'll love it too.  I haven't started the first book I grabbed off the shelf yet.

Anyway, I guess I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi, as well as how obsessed I currently am with everything Sherwood Smith.  Also, I'd like to apologize if there is someplace I should have posted this instead.  I'm new to LiveJournal (I joined just to join this community), and don't really know how to navigate it.  I didn't notice anywhere that I should have posted this, but I could have missed it, even if it's really obvious.  Reading these books has made me want to write something, however I'm not so sure I can drag myself away from them long enough to actually accomplish that.  Hopefully this won't cause any problems come next semester...

I look forward to reading some more Sherwood Smith stuff, as well as the stuff on here.  Umm yeah, I guess I'm gonna be done being awkward now, and will probably (maybe) post more after I've had more than a week of experience in this delightful little world.

I think I'll go read that first book I grabbed off the shelf now...

I just finished rereading Crown Duel again and came online to see if anything else was published with those characters. I was thrilled to find the scenes from Vidanric's perspective, especially that first one with Russav. I loved seeing Vidanric's side of the writing exchange, since that's always been one of my favorite parts of the book. I also found a link here, and I'm very glad I did. It's so nice to find other people who like the same books.

I also have a quick question. I really love the Wren books, they're the first Sherwood Smith books I ever read, and I was delighted to see that there was a fourth book that had been published online, but I couldn't seem to find it. Does anyone know if it has been taken down or is still available, and if it's still available, where? Thanks very much in advance.
