Love your writings and I think you are a saint for posting responses to so many questions. I was wondering if you have ever read any of Zoe Oldenbourg’s novels on the middle ages, (especially The Earth is Not Enough, and The Cornerstone) and what you thought of them?

I’m glad you are writing another book on Thomas of Hookton. Your tales are always engrossing and so informative of different outlooks that prevailed in the past, but I will have to say the savagery committed against civilian populations described in the Grail Quest series and the corruption of the Church described there is so repellent by modern standards that I am rooting for Thomas to grapple with those issues in a way that brings him to a deeper understanding of right and wrong and spirituality. I don’t know if it would be consistent with the genre but I’ve always loved stories of redemption and transcendence, and think they have great power in literature. And it seems to be a great opportunity for the series. Clay Chesney
