Yup five books with the 6th coming out sometime next year.. and she has said that there will at least be two other books after that.
Lets see if I remember them all
Outlander
Dragonfly in Amber
Voyager
Drums in Autumn
The Fiery Cross

The first three take place primarily in Scotland.

You've just started the good stuff!

Amazingly enough.. when she wrote that book.. The Outlander.. she had never even been to Scotland.. I am amazed at her attention to detail. She definately takes her time and throughly researches her novels..

I'm growing more respect for her as an author as i read on. I was quite the page-turner today... reading in bed for hours!

No night of wishes is actually the least like Ende of anything he ever wrote. I think he may have had a ghost writer working on it with him because the base story line really seems like something he would come up with and many of the phrases. But the over all writing just doesn't seem like him. Michael Ende also passed away soon after it was published and I know he had a long lasting illness. I have heard that that closest thing the resemebles his train stories in english is Thomas the Tank Engine. If you ever read Night of Wishes let me know what you think about it.

Yes, i think it says it's co-authored. I will let you know.

Are you sure the other was ever published in English?

I don't think I saw something on night of wishes saying co authored I know they give credit for translation, and illustrations though.

No I don't know if it was ever published in English, however I'm kinda thinking it should have been since everything else he ever wrote has been not only published in English, but printed many times before it would go out of print.

I believe Mirror in the Mirror was printed 3 times, Momo something like 5 before they stoped printing it, and Never Ending story is on something like it's 7th and still going pretty strong.

Let me know if you find anything.

'the lovely bones' by Alice Sebold, just read it then tell me what you think. My opinion - quite simply amazing.
