I love your writing. My whole family does. And so when we were discussing you and your books with my father one tea time, I was shocked to discover he knew of you as a PP back in Essex. We are Canadian now. He dug out an old photo of his church in Chelmsford and I just have to wonder if your entire PP youth didn’t all gather at times. In which case you may have met my father, Marshall Holdstock. He is 86. His father (Ted) was the minister at their church in Grove Road.

This is not a religious solicitation. I am a recovering Mennonite in the process of unravelling. I particularly loved The Last Kingdom series because it was instrumental in my evolution to being true to my own mind. Thank you for writing so honestly.

I hope you have found wholeness and happiness and that you know you are worthy – just because you exist!  I am grateful that you do.
