I could not stop reading The Pale Horseman. I thought I was in the story myself. That is a ha ha I am 68 and have been reading everything but science fiction since age of ten. This is the first time I have read your book and now will start with The Last Kingdom. Being of the female species I was surprised at your kindness toward characters and how you truely made them feel like friend and family.Thank you for my enjoyment. Ellamae
