I’m a novelist (literary fiction, crime fiction, science fiction, published in ten languages) just beginning my first historical novel. I like your work–especially the Saxon Chronicles–and wanted to say ‘hello’. This is my first dip into historical waters and it’s lovely to find a friendly online presence (we almost met on the QE2 in 2000, but I got shy and didn’t introduce myself). I hope your work is going well. Nicola
