Draycott Abbey series

The Perfect Gift as in all the Draycott Abbey series is GREAT.I have one complaint though!!!I dont see any new books for this series and i can't get any old ones either!!!I would be really ecstatic if I could get more books out of print re-printet.CHRISTINA SKYE could you PLEASE wright more books on Draycott Abbey series or at least re-print the old ones??????

Back to the begining....

I have loved the books in this series! And I am disappointed that Christina Skye seems to have stopped using Draycott Abbey as the setting for her most recent works. And I do wish that the two earliest novellas, which I can't locate, would be re-released! Several other authors in the same field have done just that, taking one of their earlier work, expanding it and releasing it a second time.

A Perfect Book

As usual, Christina Skye tops her previous books. Her heros are always straight arrows, her heroins are usually experienced in romance but not to the point of being slutish. It is a joy to watch her plots unfold. I am never bored, waiting to get to the meat of the plot. Her past and present characters blend extremely well with any given situation. She always knows where every one is and what they should be doing at any given time. Makes it all so believable that I want to keep reading and reading. I hate the end of any of her books. What happened to the two sequals involving the two female cousins? Do you know when they will hit the shelves, or have they and I just missed them??

Skye fan speaks!

Thank you Christina. With your originality and wit and great style you are the writer I turn to for inspiration. I am sure other professionals in the business must do the same. Yes, I am an aspiring writer, but it is hard to read your books analytically, I just get swept away. A comfortable chair, a quiet hour, and a Christina Skye book, thats my idea of heaven. Please keep writing, I'd be bereft without your books!
