Keep in mind you want contrast, light,medium, and dark. Good Luck Marge
Her books are wonderful. Instead of going out and buying a whole lot of books, like I did, check with your library first, then if you really like them, buy them. I learned the hard way, but luckily I was with a book site where they were all just $9.99.
