I found an old battered copy of Harlequin in a fairly unpleasant youth hostel in China last summer and as was the custom swapped it for one of my own books. Conveniently, I had an 11 hour bus journey the next day. I read the entire book from cover to cover and it left me wanting more. Since then I have read all the historical novels you have written to date (finishing the Bloody Ground 20 minutes ago) and have loved every one. I have got my whole family reading them, even my dad who upon finishing the Grail Quest series promptly cut down a yew tree to try and make a long bow. Im sure you get hundreds of these emails, but your books have been a pleasure to read, have provided me with countless hours of entertainment and most importantly have brought history to life. I look forward to your future novels especially the continuation of the Starbuck Chronicles. Yours, Will Gilbertson
