I should not begin by saying that I have never written an author before, even if it is true as day break, the reason for this is that my favorite writers growing up were deceased. An example would be Edgar Rice Burroughs. The magic of those pot boilers would transport my mind to another place and another time. Now there is so little time to read, raising a family of my own, that investing time in a book is not like picking up a magazine at a doctor’s office and thumbing through waiting to visit another waiting room with older magazines. So when I began reading “An Archers Tale”, sorry I know you prefer the oringinal title but I can’t spell Harlequin, I began picking up more of your books. When a sculpter hammers away, or painter dabs bits of colour on canvas there is often that nagging feeling, “is it any good?” There are plenty of people banging away and pumping out two dimensional tripe. Breathing life back into the past and resurrecting characters from forgotten ages takes real talent. By cobbling mere words together an author must create a picture and fill that image with life. You have done this chore in spades with a talent and craftmaship that is a marvel. Two books that I enjoyed very much revolved around some celtic Saints Patrick- Stephen Lawhead Columba- Nigel Tranter Unfortunately Nigel has passed away and his books are difficult to find in the US. I suppose I should drop Mr. Lawhead a note. In any event I thought if you plied your talents to bringing alive one of Britains forgotten Saints it would make a great read. Another forgotten people are the picts, which would make for a swell series. It would not disappoint your legion of fans and you know I would buy a copy. I digress… Thank you for the pleasure your books provide I am enjoying them to and from work in audio format which is a real treat. I wish you all the best and good health so you can fill more shelves with your special creations. I am especially looking forward to the next installment of the Saxon Stories, following “The Pale Horseman”. Cheers, JKF
