Hello! My name is Lindsey and I have only recently been turned on to your books. But this last week my life was consumed by the Warlord Chronicles, I ignored my friends, forgot to eat, smoked way too many cigarettes, and felt utterly bereft when I was finished. Until of course I did a little research and found out just how prolific you are! I cannot wait to read more, thank-you so much for your stories. And for your inspired character development, in the women especially I was impressed. I find that females in historical fiction can come off as a little one dimensional, fairly enough considering the time period and lack of rights, but yours are unerringly believable, complex, real people. I’m not hardcore in my feminism, but I find myself irked a little when every woman in a story is a sweet, obedient pushover or a total death bitch without gradation. There’s a quote that particularly stood out to me. It was in Latin, Guinevere’s description of Arthur from a book of poetry: “I hate, I love, It hurts.” Do you recall where you found it? You’ve probably been asked before, I apologize if it’s a repetitive question. But it’s rare that so few words can be so apt and I keep thinking about it. Thank you again and great website!
