I have read every book you have ever wrote under Barbara Michaels. You are absolutely the best Gothic writer ever... "Amazing"

[sbatncpl]

Amelia and Emerson ROCK!! Please tell me that Barbara Rosenblatt will be the narrator for the audio books. She is a superb reader for your books!

You are the author whose books I've read and reread time and again. Your heroines (and heroes) are so cinematographic and so real in my mind and my heart, that I simply cannot understand why they haven't been turned into very successful films a long time ago. Madam, you are an international treasure.

The Amelia Peabody mysteries are such fun to read. I'm nearing the end of the series and think I shall start all over again. Don't stop writing, Dr. Mertz!

[cmbrugger]

I have read every Elizabeth Peters novel! Amelia and all the Emersons are my absolute favorite. It has been a few months since this book published. I cannot wait for the next installment.

I love Amelia Peabody and am looking forward to reading about her latest adventure. Thank you, Dr. Mertz, for creating these very entertaining books. I wish the Emersons were real!

Have read them all, and everything else by this wonderful author, starting with the non-fiction Temples, Tombs & Hieroglyphs. Started because I too was interested in Egypt. It's delightful to see & hear her in person. And she's right, we readers LOVE the humor in her stories.

Oh the danger of falling in love with the works of a truly imaginative and enjoyable writer! I read River in the Sky yesterday and today and now I am eager for the next one.  Please say it's in the works and we won't have to wait so long.

Whew! I'm so delighted to know that this story takes place in 1910...I have been worried ever since I learned that "a river in the sky" is the way the ancient Egyptians got to their afterlife. I can't wait to read this book!

Keep on writing...it's what keeps us alive.

[CDeanWatcher]

So nice to see "Elizabeth Peters" in person. Thanks for so many hours of enjoyment, reading your books...and through your character Karen Nevitt in Shattered Silk, even a role model.

I've read all of the books in the Amelia Peabody and Vicky Bliss series. I'm really looking forward to this new novel - Amelia is such a wonderful character!

[samwiselover]

I'm on the 10th book in the Peabody series and I'm super excited to hear that the series will be ongoing! I'm in love with the Emersons(espically the older couple) :)

[eclectos1]

You gave us Egypt and I've loved it ever since. Thanks again. Now pleeease come back to Borders and talk to us again. We miss you! And bring Barbara R with you - you are an amazing pair.

[AdaKnits]

I have read & loved every book in the Amelia Peabody series (via Audible Books). The books have also inspired me to read as much as I can about Egypt. Thank you so much for this new book - I look forward to Amelia's new adventures andthe new opportunities for me to learn. Love you and your work!! (Also LOVE Barbara Rosenblat - she really brings the books to life!)

[SoniaAMC]

[Arkguardian]

Never stop writing! You make my life happier!

[SH4D0W0F1NTENT]

Thank you for giving us a bit of personal history behind the writing of the new Amelia Peabody book. These videos are a fabulous idea. My big program is I will read the book in short order and then be anxiously awaiting the next one!

[gennymax]

I agree with everyone. I am so excited to be getting another Amelia Peabody book. I have pre-ordered mine also and can't wait. I have read them all over and over. And also all your other books as well. I loved the video it was like listening to an old friend. I can't help thinking your personality must come through somewhat in your books. And I know them all so well. Thank you so much for adding another adventure for all of us who love the Emersons.

[burroakoutfitters]

Along with the rest of you, I love Amelia and the books, but what I like about the video is getting to see and hear Elizabeth Peters!

[nikeathena]

40 years of art and archeology and a mid-westerner from a long line of strong willed women--Peabody/Emerson clan is rather like going home, just with more bodies. Carry on, thank you.

[ktnsteve]

I have every "Elizabeth Peters" book in paperback. Cannot wait for the next Amelia book! I love the way she 'speaks' about her little vanities - makes me think she's someone I'd like to meet.

( Who will I give them to, I wonder?)

[podmic]

Just finished the recording and I have to say, Ms. Peters is still, very much in her prime!

I can't wait!!! I love the Emersons! :)

[menageri]

I am so excited about this new Amelia book! Thank you for doing the video and I look forward to the next installment!

[katmeyster]

Very exciting. I assume we will be getting an audio version -- unabridged of course -- by Barbara Rosenblat. Then life will be good again.
