My Latest Read, "Into the Paths of Gods", by Kathleen Cunningham Guler

I have always loved Arthurian legends of Britian, and since this book awas a Library Thing author gift, I really enjoyed it. After doing some personal reserch on Britain of 500 CE, I was impressed by the authors use of historical facts and her ability to paint the images of that time for the reader.

Let me not forget to mention the great main character, Claerwen, a do everything, kick-ass woman of beauty and intelligence, who survives on hardship after another, and becomes stronger for it!

I have just reserved the next book of the series, "In The Shadow of Dragons" from the library, and look forward to reading it.



I am delighted to recommend this series to historical and Arthurian readers.

Stars on Ice

Stars on Ice is a touring figure skating show produced by IMG. It was originally conceived in 1986 as a vehicle for IMG client Scott Hamilton, who had been released from his contract with Ice Capades, after being told that male skaters do not sell tickets. Hamilton now has retired from regular touring with the show, but remains actively involved as a producer.

Stars on Ice was originally conceived as an ice show for adults, without the skating Smurfs or Disney cartoon characters typical of other commercial ice shows of the period, such as Disney on Ice. Another concept that has carried through the show from the beginning is that of a small cast of elite skaters who perform together in ensembles as well as solo numbers. In 1991, the Canadian branch of the show, Canadian Stars On Ice, began.

Also features my Oswego State College roommate Jef Billings, the shows Director and Designer! A very talented person!
