If you've enjoyed <b>The Red Series</b>, would you please leave a brief review online for any or all of the books? This will help other readers find them.<br />
<br />
Many thanks!<br />

(The seagull really has nothing to do with reviews. But I like this photo, which I took while crossing the Puget Sound early one morning on a ferry, all of which seemed highly exotic to a girl from drought-stricken, landlocked West Texas.)Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00067413440776432192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333242412823579965.post-59418528594688613952017-06-23T14:48:00.000-05:002017-06-23T14:48:46.555-05:00Yeats ... because I love him<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G2YYCgx_Hl8/Rj8quTue8sI/AAAAAAAAAIg/z9T8kIw1rqs/s1600-h/butterfly+100_9862.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061811481245315778" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G2YYCgx_Hl8/Rj8quTue8sI/AAAAAAAAAIg/z9T8kIw1rqs/s320/butterfly+100_9862.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;" /></a><br />

<blockquote>
All the words that I utter, <br />
And all the words that I write, <br />
Must spread out their wings untiring, <br />
And never rest in their flight, <br />
Till they come where your sad, sad heart is, <br />
And sing to you in the night, <br />
Beyond where the waters are moving, <br />
Storm-darken'd or starry bright.<br />
<br />
--William Butler Yeats, "Where My Books Go"</blockquote>
