She looks to be banned in UK libraries, cannot find copies. Seriously? Another example of how Big Brother has really taken over the UK. Shades of Fahrenheit 451..

Having nothing to do with politics, I THINK?, is my latest experience in my quest for fictional reading I enjoy. It involves historical fiction of England. I found by some cross reference at fantasticfiction.com the works of Simon Scarrow an English Author. I then went to easynews.com and downloaded all of the audiobooks by Simon Scarrow. All availble this five minutes. I acquired most of the Cato series. Books 1 5 6 7 8 9 ..... I really enjoyed Book 1. So I figured I would fill in Book 2 3 4 from audible. I could not. Book 2 cannot be sold by Amazon in the USA. I dig get Audio Book 3 from Audible.au as it was also not availble to we USA folks. I was able to buy Audio Book 4. A mixed blessing as I finally took out my kindle, all of the ebooks were available. I put the epub on my kindle and read it. I found reading was not that bad. It's been a long time since I read a book. But I personally find audiobooks far more enriching. I have a few other series where the audio verson of a book was not made. So I have stared adding those ebooks to my kindle. But it may take a while for me to run out of audio.
