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.

Prescription For Love Print Add to Cart $14.94 Download Add to Cart $4.50 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.

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
