Thanks, Martha! I hope you and Gail and Sara all take a look at the Border trilogy. I have a thing about getting the history right and making the characters fit their time and place, then weaving it together so the reader feels as if he or she is there. I always welcome comments, even complaints. There is an email link on my website, and I love hearing from readers. Also, if anyone is interested in receiving cover-art postcard announcements of my future books, just let me know. The mailing list is my own, and I print the labels, so you won't get a bunch of junk mail. The publisher is thinking of changing to e-postcards, so if you have any comments on that, I'd like to hear them.

Hi, folks! Always great to meet readers who enjoy history. I feel the same way about it that Sara does, in that I no sooner read some interesting bit than my imagination goes into full swing. When I was writing Regencies, I read a bit in an early 19th century edition of the London Times about a little girl who had been frightened by a witch while walking in woods near her home. That one developed into a whole book. On the other hand, when readers ask me where I get my ideas, I'm often tempted to use Stephen King's favorite reply: Cleveland.
