I just finished Fools and Mortals and it is one of the best books I have ever read. I have been a player (college plays, local TV, standup, and several indie movies that go straight to DVD. You absolutely captured the feeling of performing and I loved it. I also found the Sharpe novels and the Saxon Tales to be wonderful and well written. I am a big history buff and realy liked the historical accuracy. I did 6 seasons as a reenactor at a fort replica set in 1816. This was Fort Wayne, where I live. The fort has great history. I played an alcoholic Irish ex-soldier.and since Irish folk music is a passion, I got to perform songs of the era.Again, thank you so much for your work. My mother would have loved Fools and Mortals as she taught High School English and was a big Shakespeare fan. Looking forward to your next books as I know I will enjoy them very much. Thanks you for the great tales!
