hello Bernard, I would like to thank you for the very many hours of gripping reading you have given me over the years. I’ve just finished The Burning Land and can not wait for the next book. About ten years ago I moved to Basildon Essex from Sheffield and found it very different. Six years on I now live in south Benfleet and work in Hadleigh. Your books have put a new light on the way I now look at the places round where I live and work. I do read most of your book and find I get in deep trouble for burning my husband’s dinner because I’ve a book in my hand. many thanks again, Shaz
