One of my favorite memories of being a child was having the lights turned out in my room and then by flashlight, settling in to read the latest “Hardy Boys” mystery book that I had snuck under the covers. Over the years, reading began taking a top shelf for me, work, sports, time with my family and raising kids, everything got in the way of a good book, but I think it was really just a little laziness on my part. A little over a year ago I discovered that age had caught up to me and that indeed I did need reading glasses after years on years of perfect vision. About that time, my brother bought me the first book in the Arthur series and after reading only a few pages at a time, the head and the eyes would be aching. Well, I wanted to read the story so bad I hustled my butt off to the eye doctor, got the reading glasses in place, and the rest is history as they say. I want to let you know how much I enjoy your stories and that they have put the joy back into reading. I have read the Arthur Series, The Grail Quest Series, and the Saxon Stories including the Pale Horseman. My wife is hooked now as well and my bookshelf is quickly filling up with your books. I am currently reading the Sharpe series, got the first 2 for Christmas and picked up the next 3 today. The only thing that scares me is running out of your books to read! Thank you for creating the kind of story that brings an old reader out of retirement and re-kindles a childhood passion. Ron Morgan, Cambridge, Ontario Canada.
