Dear Sir; I have read virtually all of your books and met you in person some years ago in Hamilton Ontario, Canada. We have a similar background, I was adopted by strict Plymouth Brethern and have seen both the error and light of their ways. Specifically, does the following quote from Derfel to Ceinwyn actually come from your own heart and experience? ” “I do understand that you can look into someone’s eyes and suddenly know that life will be impossible without them. Know that their voice can make your heart miss a beat and that their company is all your happiness can ever desire and that their absence will leave your soul alone, bereft and lost.” Don Rickard,
