Last week, when I finally put together my list of memorable category moments, I was slightly bummed to realise that I had no Lucy Walker books in my collection. She, who was my introduction to romance novels in general and category romance in particular!!! There is a reason for this, which involves my dh (and the d does not stand for dear in this case) and his propensity to "clean up the junk". In this case "the junk" was my books and he did this while I was in hospital labouring for hours and day and weeks (at least that's how I remember it) to give birth to one of his sons. (He didn't touch "my junk" every again, I might add.)
So, after posting my list of favourites I decided to google Lucy Walker to see if there'd been any recent re-releases. You never know. There weren't but what I did find was an eBay auction of a Lucy Walker collection. 30(!!!) books. Including A Man Called Masters. I was all over that and this morning I won. For less than $4. Postage and handling, of course, is ten times that amount but I don't care.
I will have back a piece of my youth, my introduction to romance novels, history and memories and nostalgia. I can't wait for the box to arrive!
