Hi Cindy,
BARD stands for the Braille and Audio Reading Service (BARD) of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS). smile. It's the acronym they're using for the new digital Talking Book service that's replacing the old cassette-based audio book service. The books are still read by a human narrator, but are distributed as specially encrypted and encoded mp3s that conform to DAISY standards.
Through BARD you can download the books yourself to run on players that comply with the new standards, or get the books delivered through the mail on a specially designed flash card that plugs into a digital player designed especially for the NLS patrons.

I don't know what BARD is. I've added Earth Song, Fire Song and Rosehaven to 
the fiction wish list. (reader reviews on amazon were pretty harsh for Fire and 
Earth Song. I didn't read about Rosehaven.
I was trying to find out what was number one in the series, for those of you 
who like to read series in order.There seem to be a total of 6 or 7 books in 
the Medieval Song series; there is a trilogy and a quartet, as well as these 
and  one other (Penwyth Curse). Bookshare has a book, Warrior's Song but it's 
#4 of the Medieval Song Quartet.

Bard now has Catherine Coulter's
Hellion Bride and Lion's Gate.  So you can remove them
from the wish list; I was the one who asked from them. That leaves Rosehaven, Fire Song and Earth Song.
