The four books in Brian's GammaLAW series, published posthumously, are also included. (For German speakers, the Deutsch translations of seven of Lucia's novels are on Kindle).

Lucia's friend, videographer Keith Murphy, has posted four short videos on youtube.  In them she talks about writing, history, writing about history, her dead and imaginary friends, and the strange quirk of fate that turned her into a writer.

Note:  Love and passion are certainly found in Lucia's stories, but most of them aren't for the squeamish.  As reader/author Gayle Pruitt wrote in an e-mail, "Just wanted to say thank you for the many hours of education and bloody entertainment your books provide.  I enjoy them immensely."

 "Robson's period details are vivid: one can almost feel the hot brass of the cannon and the hunger of the poor Mexicans and smell the Army mules and their drivers. Sarah herself has no mean gift for daily conversation and lyrical expression. With its tough-and-tender Amazon lifted from the history books, this tall tale towers in appeal and skill over most western historicals." --Publishers Weekly on Fearless)
