: Imagine my utter delight when I realized several years later that books were writen by authors and that authors wrote more than one book. I've been reading her ever since. About 36 years now.

Debbie :
Although I started reading Norton a lot later than you did, (only 8 years ago, and I was 11 then...) I had the same sort of experience you did with Ms. Norton's wonderful talent for writing. The creatures and worlds seemed to exist in their own plane, apart from the writing, in a shared part of some lost memory. You were left wondering what happened, where they were and if there was some way they really couldn't exist, because Ms. Norton writes that well, even better. I read Beastmaster as one of my first books, and the Janus series. I kept the images I took from the Janus series even until the Internet finally allowed me to obtain my own copies now. (I got mine through the old school library, long since gone, to my dismay). Getting to read them again after all of these years was a wonderful thing for me. (But I have to double-think memory on Beastmaster, I think I forgot a lot, because the book I have now is not what I remembered.) Glad to meet you here in the board! (Bibliofind is a good place to look for specific titles or a list by author, but some places are expensive, and there is always Shipping&Handling.)
