This is an interesting challenge!

[Amy]

I used for Time Travel Stair one; the River of No Return by Bee Ridgeway, and I liked it. Thought you might like the suggestion.

While I'm not ready to take on an A to Z challenge with authors and titles, it would be sort of fun towards the end of the year to waste a half an hour and see how close I got - lo!!

[Mindy aka serenity]

Thanks for the suggestion, Amy!
I try the A to Z every year, and never quite make it because besides Quindlen I can't think of any Q authors, or X for that matter. But it's fun nevertheless. :-)
