I just wanted to thank you for writing those books and all the research involved. I discovered your work when my girlfriend had one of the books that you co wrote with your wife, I read it then proceeded to read almost every book you have written one after the other. I have been going through some difficult times and the stories have given me a welcome escape as well as lessons in history. I don’t know what to do now, I have just about read them all. I am a musician and songwriter, and understand somewhat the creative process, so again thank you for the work you have done and the attention to details that make the stories come alive! Douglas
