[MR] Books with SCA references

Wed Sep 3 07:28:59 PDT 2003

Try the following books by Rosemary Edghill:

"The Sword of Maiden's Tears," 
"The Cup of Morning Shadows"
"The Cloak of Night and Daggers"

Also, those books have been anthologized and published
in one volume called "The Empty Crown."

In Edghill's books, not only the SCA is mentioned, but
some or her heroes/heroines are in fact Scadians.

To tell you the truth, it was through her books that I
first heard of the SCA, did a web search and
eventually become involved.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Belphoebe
