Dear Bernard: Just a quick note to let you know that I just pre-ordered SWORD SONG from AMAZON.UK. Although I’m American (and patiently waiting for more STARBUCK…hahumfph!), I consistently order your work from the UK. I’m simply not willing to wait til the US publishers get off their backsides and publish you. I’m sure I’m not the only avid reader of yours that does this and thought you might let the US publishers know (and even enjoy it). Enjoy your sailing this summer — but Keep Writing! As Always, Scott Evans
