Dear Sir First off – thank you – not for any specific series or novel, but just in general. I really appreciate the way your prose tells a story :) First question – You have said that you do not read historical fiction to relax, as that is what you write – But what or who do you read? I strongly suspect that there is some historical fiction that you do peruse, but what else? Second Question – Aristophanes said that it was the duty of the poet to educate the city; Do you have similar didactic views? Once again thanks for the books. Pete Dean
