muffin2006 Member since Nov-13-06 4 posts Nov-14-06, 00:50 AM (EST)   "Characters"      I am a new Diana Palmer reader and have really taken a liking to her books. I was wondering if there is anywhere I can find out what the story and who the characters are in each of her books. I have noticed that many of the books are related in one way or another and it would be nice to see what each book is about so I can try to read them in the correct order.   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I am very new to this website and still need to get familiar with everything. I was actually playing around yesterday while I was logged in and found what you suggested. This will help a lot when I go searching for books either at the bookstore or the library. Have a great day.   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

ndowner23 Member since Dec-10-08 1 posts Dec-11-08, 00:51 AM (EST)   3. "RE: Characters" In response to message #1      Thanks so much for all the info! I really appreciate it....I did have one question. I'm reading thru a couple of her books and found a trail to them. I started with Desperado, then that tied to Lawless, then that went to Renegade. I think the next tie is to Lawman (which I have read already...tying Cash and his brother Garon from book to book). I didn't see this tie on your list and I wanted to make sure that I didn't lose my connections. If the tie's go on, can you tell me where to go next, if not...I'll head to another book and see where that leads? Any help, I would greatly appreciate! Thanks!

I made the list several years ago and have not had time to update it like I should. You will find that all the LTT's, Most of the Mercenary books and all the larger book's Diana did for MIRA and HQN starting with Once in Paris pretty much tie in with all the LTT and Mercenary books There are also many more books that will tie in with other books, there are so many books that tie in together that is very hard trying to list them all.   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
