      The Brotherhood of Mages -- 
The Black Jewel has been 
destroyed and several
 of the Jewels of Earda 
need Holders. In their 
hidden refuge, the Brotherhood
      of Mages plot to destroy 
the newly-found peace. 
When Jindera's brother is
 kidnapped by the Mages, 
she vows to rescue him. 
She joins with Corin, 
a peddler and former thief 
who has his own issues 
with the Brotherhood. 
His way of dealing with 
them is avoidance. 
When Jindera is injured, 
Corin knows he must help 
her. They encounter the 
Holders of the Orange 
and Green Jewel. Jindera
bonds with the Red and 
this small group seeks 
the Brotherhood, hoping if
      the refuge is destroyed, 
evil will be defeated 
and peace restored to Earda.
      Can they rescue Jindera's 
brother before the confrontation?

      On the world of Earda, the Jewels rule all. 
Power flows from their depths,
      and the world responds to the will 
of their holders - and, the will of holder
      of the Black Jewel, which rules them all. 
Yet, legend speaks of a time when
      there was no Black Jewel, and the lands 
were ruled in peace by the White
      Jewel. They are merely legends, now, 
the truth of it lost in the mists of
      time. Or are they? Liara and her foster-brother, 
Brader, intend to find out.

      "An incredible journey into a detailed 
and vibrant fantasy world!"

      The position as patient care 
coordinator is single mother 
Ginny Barr's dream come true, 
allowing her to raise her 
daughter and young niece 
in the suburbs instead of 
the inner city. 
When the Chief of Orthopedics, 
and her greatest supporter, 
has a heart attack, his son, 
Blake Marshall joins the practice.
      Blake wants Ginny in his 
bed and pursues her. 
Though attracted to him, 
Ginny recalls his arrogance 
at a meeting several 
years earlier when he dismissed
      her judgment about a patient. 
Blake is faced with convincing 
Ginny of his love.


      PRESCRIPTION FOR LOVE is a medical 
romance that depicts hospitals and the
      people staffing them, who face crises 
with aplomb. Ginny is a sympathetic
      heroine and Blake is delicious. 
Ms. Walters knows young children and draws
      them with a true pen, adding fun to the courtship. 
I recommend anyone wanting a fun and engrossing 
story to pick up this book.~~

This contemporary medical romance 
had all the elements it takes to 
make a good book. There was conflict, 
misunderstanding and most especially love, 
lots of love. Ginny Barr had a hard life 
but she is bound and determined to climb 
out of the gutter and make something 
of herself, even when she found out she was 
pregnant by the man she loved whom she found
      out already had a wife and children. 
Then her brother Joey dropped his two
      month old bi-racial daughter off for 
just a couple of weeks that turned out
      to be two years and counting. 
Now Ginny has a good job, has just 
moved not only her family but her best 
friend and her mother out of the city 
to a nice duplex. The only problem is she 
is having problems at work with a nurse who
      wants her job. Then Dr. Marshall's adopted 
son Blake shows up. He's everything she could 
want in a man but he only wants an affair. 
Ginny wants more for her and her girls. 
Blake misconstrues several things and doesn't 
know how to admit he's wrong but Ginny and 
her girls will straighten him out. Now
      if only they could make him admit that 
he loves them all and doesn't want
      to let them go. I thoroughly enjoyed this 
book and zipped through it in no time to a 
most satisfying ending.

Joey Barr left his infant daughter, Manda, with his sister for a month or two so her could come to terms with the death of "Pookie", the birth mother of Manda. Two years later, Manda was still with Ginny Barr. In that time, Ginny raised Manda with her own daughter, Honor. She supported herself and her two girls while slowly climbing the nursing ladder in the poorer hospitals. Then she got the position as Patient Care Coordinator (PCC) of the orthopedic unit at Hudson View General Hospital. The Chief of Orthopedics, Dr. Charles Marshall, had been like a father to Ginny. The only difference was in their skin color. She was ebony. Charles was ivory. Problems began when Charles's adopted son, Dr. Blake Marshall, came onto the Orthopedic Surgeon staff. Ginny had her hands full already! She had two girls to support, a missing - no good - brother, a nurse who wanted Ginny's job and purposely caused trouble (even at possible harm to the patients), staff upset at the new classes she set up (due to vicious false rumors of possible terminations), and a boss who wanted her gone - as of yesterday! The last thing she needed was handsome "Dr. B" trying to lure her into his bed! He may not remember when they had met once before, but she never would forget! His attitude almost harmed a patient! But Dr. B was confident he would change lovely Ginny's mind! He never dreamed her rejections would ultimately lead to his richest rewards! *** EXCELLENT AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING! Janet Lane Walters has written another winner. With each book she seems to get better and better. This latest hooked my interest immediately and never let go. Constant surprises appeared to keep me off balance. BRAVA! *** Reviewed by Détra Fitch

An exclusive interview with Janet Lane Walters

Where do you live?

Nyack, NY 10960

Where can fans write to you?

ShadyL717@aol.com

What inspired you to write your books?

I've always been a reader and writing my own stories seemed natural. PRESCRIPTION FOR LOVE was written for my youngest daughter who is an adopted bi-racial child. WHISPERS OUT OF YESTERYEAR was partially based on a strange experience that happened during a day trip with my dad and my children.

What's your day as a writer like?

I'm one of those fortunate people who has all day to write, yet I don't spend eight hours at the computer. I do all my rough drafts on the computer and then the follow up drafts in pen and ink. Since I belong to two critique groups that meet every two weeks, there's time out for these. I try to write at least ten pages a day and sometimes do much more.

Tell us about your family.

I'm married to a psychiatrist who keeps me grounded when I flip into the worlds I create. I've four grown children, two sons and two daughters. They're scattered from New York to Florida. There are four grandchildren who are my special loves. Alas they live in Florida so I don't see them as often as I'd like.

Do you have any pets?

No pets now. I had a Maine Coon cat named Robespierre that my boys found in the wire rim of my car one morning and brought to me. He became my familiar and spent the first few weeks with us on my shoulder with his nose in my hair.

What are your hobbies?

Housework is my hobby since that's what one does in their spare time. I also love to read. I've also done and still do horoscopes for friends.

What do you enjoy doing for leisure?

Going out to dinner is always a plus. I watch a bit of TV and love to visit with friends.

Who's your favorite author?

I can't pick one as a favorite.

What's your favorite book?

Probably Anna Karenina since I read it for a book report in third grade and was nearly suspended from school for attempting to change the ending.

What kind of music do you enjoy?

Classical

What is your favorite place?

The village where I live since it's an eclectic place with hordes of antique shops and other neat places.

What place, that you haven't already visited, would you like to visit?

Spain
