You've stumbled across my official website and landed on the front page of my weblog.
My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor, writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series, Where the Light Enters, was released in 2019.
Please see the pinned post for an overview of what you'll find on this weblog, and what has been moved to the wiki (including the FAQ page).
Wise Guys
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn’t expecting it.
— H.G. Wells (attributed), Sir Osbert Sitwell

I never saw the LOTR so may I assume the size of his feet have something to do with the movie. Because I was told to look at the size of men’s feet for “cough” other reasons ;)
I am glad she is safe, sound and having fun!
Hobbits have very large, hairy feet.
OH! Sorry about that, as I hang my head down in shame.
No reason to hang your head in shame, silly. I wouldn’t know about Hobbit feet if I hadn’t been dragged off to see the movies myself.
Does the above comment mean you’ve never read LOTR?
(shocked)not possible!(wide grin)
I saw him at a bar during SxSW. His feet are entirely normal. *g*
Never read or saw LOTR. One day when I am finished all the books that I have planned on reading I might just give it a try.
Saw some of LOTR, but never read them. If you like fantasy though, check out the Wheel of Time series. I just started and can’t put it down.
I’m looking forward to Pajama Jones oops sorry out of habit, I mean The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square.
As for the TTTT paperback, that’ll be great, it’ll get more people to come over to the forum and participate hopefully in the discussion of the book!
Looking forward to the release of the trade paperback of TTTT!!
I like the new title, The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square, it’s quite catchy!!!
The new title sounds light-hearted and fun. Looking forward to it. Readers will get to discover the term “pyjama jones” between the covers, I presume? (I hope)
