More About the Author

Christy-Award winner Angela Hunt writes for readers who have learned to expect the unexpected in novels from this versatile author. With nearly four million copies of her books sold worldwide, she is the best-selling author of more than 100 works ranging from picture books (The Tale of Three Trees) to novels.

Now that her two children have reached their twenties, Angie and her youth-pastor husband live in Florida with Very Big Dogs (a direct result of watching Sandlot too many times). This affinity for mastiffs has not been without its rewards--one of their dogs was featured on Live with Regis and Kelly as the second-largest canine in America. Their dog received this dubious honor after an all-expenses-paid trip to Manhattan for the dog and the Hunts, complete with VIP air travel and a stretch limo in which they toured New York City. Afterward, the dog gave out paw-tographs at the airport.

When she's not home writing, Angie often travels to teach writing workshops at schools and writers' conferences. And to talk about her dogs, of course.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, July 31, 2002

J. Peterson "jenpeterson" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jamestown (Keepers of the Ring #2) (Paperback)

This follows "Roanoke" which I really liked. In fact, it pretty much starts the minute "Roanoke" ends. It is mainly the story of Gilda & Fallon and what happens after the slaughter of their village.

Fallon is sent to England and Gilda is sent to live with her cousin Pocantas. Fallon never forgets his incomplete mission--to watch over Noshi & Gilda. Gilda, being so young when the children were sent away, doesn't remember much of her previous life. Eventually Fallon is able to go back to Virginia and begin his search for her.

The book is womderfully written and I felt like I got to know the main characters, to a point. Some of the supporting characters weren't that deep, but that's understandable.

I can't wait to read the third book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful way to continue the tale of the ring!, May 1, 1999

This review is from: Jamestown (Keepers of the Ring Series, No 2) (Paperback)

JAMESTOWN continues the story of the people who established Roanoke, as based upon the author's research. I was reminded of the biblical story of Job's suffering as I lived with the characters Gilda and Fallon. A wonderful, enriching tale. I can't wait to read the other books in this series!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best series ever!, September 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Jamestown (Keepers of the Ring Series, No 2) (Paperback)

This has to be one of the best series of books I've ever read. I hadn't even reached the middle of the first book when I called my mother to tell her that she had to go get it. She was done with it when I reached the middle of the second and now I've just finished the third!
