Books & Authors - February 2007

I remember reading a book, similar to the works of the venerable Robin Jarvis. It was part one of (x number), I know because I am trying to finish off the collection.

It dealt with animals that could change aspects of themselves, animorphing under the guidance of a master. I think the animals were mice (which leads me to the Robin Jarvis connection). In this first novel of many, a mouse pupil becomes better than the master. The master became jealous of this pupil, and found out that the pupil was better at morphing than himself. If it helps, this pupil was adept at changing into a blackbird, which was one of the hardest animals to master.
Well, it turns out that this pupil was only better than the master by stealing shavings off the ancient trees of his ancestors, a morally wrong action to take. This master goes off to reveal his pupils secret. On the way to the village however, a group of "undead?" find this master, and the once "never put a foot wrong master", sells out his tribe,

I read a blog re: reading banned books, and this person said he/she read 'Cry To Heaven' by Anne Rice for a schook report, then decided later it wasnt suitable material to read in front of the class. He/she said its about a 'Castrati'. What is it, exactly?

I enjoy reading the Little House on the Prairie books to my daughter, but am now looking for something for myself. Are there any other books like this, but for adults?

I like the theme of the Westward migration of pioneers, and I like the level of detail in the Little House books, in terms of showing what life was like back then.

I am definitely not looking for romance novels, and not necessarily cowboy/outlaw novels either (which is what the Louis L'Amour novels seem like).

What's the best way to promote my book; The Anatomy of Mona Lisa: Love's Prison. I have figured out who she is and can prove it with quotes from Da Vinci and composite images of the Mona Lisa and another painting which is an anagram for the title. Check out my web site itsjustlife.com for a preview and a link to my book! Any advice would be great. I am self publishing through lulu.com and don't know what I should do next now that it's finally done!?

Forgive me if this has been asked before...has Rowling told us yet what the "Deathly Hallows" are? And if not, what do you think they are? This is pure speculation on my part, but I'm thinking it might have to do with veil covered room in the Ministry of Magic, through which Sirius fell. What do you think?

Does anyone remember the title of a children's book published many years ago, which told the story of The Sun and The Wind's strenghts
It was about the Wind claiming he was stronger than the Sun and blew hard making the child hold on his clothes, where the Sun became warmer and ultimately the child undresses, clearly on this occassion the Sun was the winner.
