#1 Thaks for the link, Steve... and Booklocker even offers a sample chapter for whose who don't want to buy a pig in a poke, as it were.
1,999,985 more copies sold and I can think about buying a castle in J.K. Rowlings' neighborhood!

#5 Well, yeah... tell your Best-beloved to order a copy for you! And then, when you have read it and if you really enjoy, to post a review at Amazon.com, or wherever!

Seriously, I wrote this book because it was really a wonderful story... and also because I really believe we need to reclaim our histories. We need to know that our ancestors (actual or only philosphical) were brave and competant, and pulled together in adversity. We need to know this; we must be reassured about this, in the stories that we tell to each other in the dark times.
I think you would like it, TW... the central love story is between a couple who have been married for more than a decade, and are still crackers about each other!
