Over 280 million copies of her books are in print, including 12 million copies sold in 2005 alone. Her novels have been published in 35 countries.

My luv for her books:
My passion for her books when i was doing my Masters degree in India. I accidentally happened to pick up 2 books of hers - Without A Trace and Skin Deep. These 2 were light reading but i enjoyed her style of writing and there began my love affair with her books.
I have read nearly all her books and i have a copy of all the books that i have read. Even if i have read a book online i still make it a point to own a paperback. Pre-marriage my Dad used to keep telling me that i spend my salary only on books and post marriage i have a husband who does not mind me spending his money on my books :) .I still remember when he asked me what i would like as a wedding gift , i told him that one of my favourite authors books was releasing in November and would he get that for me. Guess he found out then for the first time that he had a wife who was crazy on books :)

With my love affair on her books , i have made a couple of my friends go crazy and i have introduced lots of my friends to her books. I remember that i used to be a walking library before my marriage at my office :)

The latest book that i read of hers was "Tribute" and iam waiting for the last book in her "Sign of Seven" trilogy.

Editorial Review of TRIBUTE :

Cilla McGowan, former child star and granddaughter of the legendary actress Janet Hardy, moves to her late grandmother's Virginia farm to make a new start and to bring the once famous house back to life. Little does she know that someone in her grandmother's past doesn't want her there to solve old mysteries, and that person will go to any length to drive her out. Jennifer Van Dyck brings all the Southern characters to life: Cilla's handsome love interest, Ford Sawyer, her petulant mother, her latest stepfather, and her hippie ex-husband. The dialogue is witty, the characters interesting, and the story a thriller filled with the unexpected. Most worthwhile.

I hope you enjoi reading the book as much as i did.

Will come back to you with more of her books as and when as i can.
