I'm also giving Karen Miller's Prodigal Mage as a gift this year.

It was dark, had a new spin on the paranormal, and had romantic elements as well. <br /><br />Happy shopping!

They start with <i>Magic Lost, Trouble Found</i> and they're fantasy novels with some fun modern slang about a gal from a pirating family with minor magical gifts who gets soul-bound to an evil stone of mega power. Sounds good, huh? Btw, smexy elves and goblins abound. And lots of humor. And pirates. You gotta love pirates.Amelie Markikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400254352752257840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-26872513293951604402009-12-04T13:01:26.439-05:002009-12-04T13:01:26.439-05:00I can't even pretend to be sorry about the bur...I can't even pretend to be sorry about the burnt dinner :) I will most gladly owe one, however -b/c you made my day with this!
