My Aunt Marjorie wanted to get me a book for my birthday, and she suggested Mists of Avalon. I wasn't too thrilled, since I usually don't like books like this, but as soon as I read the first paragraph, I was hooked! The realistic characters and the gripping plot were so different from what I expected- something dry and boring.

I had the internet, but didn't use it except for email, and didn't know about free webpages (like at Fortunecity) or html, so I didn't have any thoughts about making a web page about my favorite book. Then, almost a year later, I started using the internet more, and noticed that there were no sites on Mists of Avalon. All the sites I found were analytical sites about Arthurian legends- very boring. So- I learned some html, and made this page! Ta-da!

Cool story: I was looking for something about Mists of Avalon on the net, so I tried looking for sites on Marion Zimmer Bradley. All I found was a Darkover site, and the site for her fantasy magazine. Thinking 'what the heck' I checked out the site for her magazine. The only thing there that I read was her biography, but I noticed a place where you could e-mail her. So, I wrote an e-mail, asking if she could send me pictures, since I don't have a scanner and couldn't get them anywhere else. Her secretary was very nice, and sent me a jpg of the cover of a new release of the book, only asking I put a link to the fantasy magazine (the link is under the 'about the author' section of my site).Then, a little while later, she sent me the jpg of the original cover- she scanned it herself! Isn't that cool, or what? I also gave her the URL, so hopefully she will check it out- maybe MZB will actually see it!! Wow.

Okay, it�s been awhile, and I haven�t really updated the page hardly at all, but I�ve been feeling really guilty about it, so I�ll start here! I have been pretty surprised at the amount of traffic on this page (I mean, it�s not THAT much, but a lot more than my other pages) and I have totally loved all the email I�ve gotten so far. Mostly the emails are pagan/ Christian things (which I never get tired of discussing, in case anyone reading this wants to email me about it!) but I�ve also gotten asked for help on essays, and one strange email where someone asked me the number of pages in Mists of Avalon... I�ve had people tell me my site is a "hub for readers of this wonderful book" *blush* oh, you�re too kind, too kind. :)

Anyway, this has all been happening pretty recently, and I�m gonna start trying to update my pages... any suggestions for additions to the site would be highly appreciated. I�m thinking of making a page for essays/ quotes/ whatever from fans of the book.. If you have anything like that, send it to me!! Also, please send me any related links you find, I almost always put them up. Or, if you have your own Mists page, be sure to send me that too. Especially to this one person who emailed me.. you had a site with this cave or something like that??? please send me your link again, I lost it! sorry! Any links to this page you feel like putting on your homepage are much appreciated... :) anyway, this is getting really really long, a big thank you to the people who have bothered to read this far!!!
