I pick up a complete series (secondhand) of hers called The Aldebreshin Compass series, starting with Southern Fire. The store owner sadi the woman who sold it to him said it was very good, is she telling the truth or have I wasted my cash?

I haven't read this specific series but Jules is always good value. I'd be amazed if the books didnt contain good character development, plenty of the expected action, plus deeper developments going on underneath as well. I would confidently predict you have yourself a bargain!

Thanks Ian, apparently it's an elaboration of a mentioned set of islands in another series but you do not need to read that series to understand this one. Darn I was stupid coz I saw your book at a new sales store but didn't get it, I wasn't really concentrating on it, I just saw it and said I know that name and I have seen that cover, and it is the one in your avatar. Must go look for it and get a copy

Definitely! I'd highly recommend that one too!

She's great fun to chat to.

Hehe

She's great fun to chat to.

And her books?

I've only read a couple of Juliet's books, but they were both excellent. I second Ian's assessment. I think you got a bargain.

Hehe, need to go to the shops this weekend and have a look and see if I can get it.

I've read all of them, and not just because I know Juliet.

Her books are excellent - superbly developed worlds, beautifully constructed plots and well-drawn characters. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

And if you like those, don't forget her first series - The Tales of Einarinn.

Hi Mike - funny how Jules keeps bringing us together

I enjoyed the two Einarinn books I bought so far - I'm just waiting for her latest ones to come out as ebooks (as promised at NewCon), since my shelves are full!
