[Artemisia] Reading

Yes, that is the series.  And he put out the latest book about a year  or so 
ago.  Want to know how old the series is?  My father started  reading book one 
in college (and I think he got to college riding a  dinosaur)
 
It is a very good series too, though you have to have a really good memory  
from book to book as he will refer to something that happened in book one in 
the  middle of book six and expect you to remember it from just a hint.  An  
enjoyable challenge.  I am rereading that series right now since I still  can't 
do much except lay about.  But the "up times" are longer and more  frequent so 
I will soon be back among you and causing my usual trouble.  (eg)

The  author is Orson Scott Card.  I think it's called the Alvin Maker series, 
 and I believe it's not yet complete.  He put out the first few books  really 
fast, and then....not much.

Since so many of you have read the same things I did growing up, maybe you 
can  help me identify a series. I have forgotten who the author was and all of 
the  titles to the books. The only specific thing I can remember is it was 
about  the seventh son of a seventh son. It was fantasy and the seventh son had  
magical abilities and had to do something with it. I think he may have also  
had to find various objects but I could be mixing that up with something else  I 
read. If anyone knows the series I am thinking of I would love the author  
and/or names of the books. I have already been getting my nieces and nephew  
interested in a lot of the fantasy I read when I was young and would love to  
include these.

As a side note, yes Conrad, I do still read  history, lots and lots of it. 
But sometimes I need a break and want to get  back to my fantasy, vampires and 
other monsters. Remember, variety adds spice  to everything!
