I just found out that you are a LT member, and I wanted to tell you that I have enjoyed all the books I read among those you wrote, especially the Llewellyn trilogy and "The Sunne in Splendour". Perhaps I am a bit biased because I share Richard III's birthday, but I never believed he was the monster we have always been led to think he was.
Happy reading and writing.

Hi, all. I'm back from the book tour, which are always a lot of fun. They used to be the only way to inter-act with readers, but now that is also possible via blogs and on-line chats. Speaking of which, I've really been enjoying the ones I'm doing now here at Librarythings and at Goodreads. Reader questions are usually much more creative and interesting than the ones I get in media interviews, which tend to be bland and predictable, probably because few media interviewers are able to read the book under discussion.
I really like Librarythings; it is such an effective way to share books we love. I hope some of you will drop by my blog on my website, for we spend a lot of time discussing other writers' books there, too.

Happy pre-birthday SharonKay.

I enjoyed your book, Cruel As The Grave. The ornate calligraphy on the cover got my attention but the story made me glad I picked up the book.

"Upon the hearth the fire is red
Beneath the roof there is a bed
But not yet weary are our feet
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone
Tree and flower and leaf and grass
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky
Pass them by! Pass them by!

"Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gait
And though we pass them by today
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the moon or to the sun
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell
Fare you well! Fare you well!

"Home is behind the world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Then world behind and home ahead
We’ll wander back to home and bed
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp and meat and bread
And then to bed! And then to bed!

"Still round the corner there may wait
A hidden road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
There may come a time at last that I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
East of the moon west of the sun."

— J.R.R. Tolkien
