Good morning/afternoon/evening whichever best fits,
I wanted to reach out to you for two reasons. At first, I was unsure of doing this but after a bit of hemming and hawing I decided to actually commit and email you. a letter would be preferred with the personal touch but it is what it is. Firstly I wanted to say thank you. I had been in a drought for a while regarding books which was depressing. I feel like there are alot of books out there I would like to read but never had time to do it. I found a book on tape app and the first book I decided to listen to was the Archer’s Tale or Harlequin. I was pulled in.
it was amazing to be sucked back into a book again, I couldn’t stop listening! I had to read the next one! and the next one! blazed through all the books in the series (including 1356) and absolutely loved it! Then I moved on to the Winter King! had to return that one and then wait three months to finish it! the rest in the series are also on a massive waitlist which can’t end soon enough. Your book on Waterloo was also fascinating! there was so much detail I’ve decided after digesting it all I’m going to have to listen to it again! I’ve hopefully sold my history buff friends into reading/listening to your books. So again I want to say thank you for reigniting that love of reading I thought lost for awhile. Now that the thanks is over I did want to ask just a few questions.
- In the Grail Quest series they make frequent mention of the Devil’s Harp being the term for the English longbow. I’ve tried to find some historical mention of this since it makes alot of sense in my mind for it to be something they were historically called. If not then I must say I am impressed you came up with that as it is a brilliant term!
- Did you have any regrets over Robbie’s death?
- Would there be any authors you may recommend? Or alternatively what authors have inspired you?
I apologize if this is long and winded. Thank you for your time and thanks for the wonderful worlds you’ve created!
