Thanks for the add Susan. Not sure if you remember me but I emailed you some time ago regarding a certain lady during the reign of Edward VI/Protector Somerset :) I just wanted to thank you for your advice and help with that, it's certainly helped me get started on what I want to do! Wow, I've just realised this sounds really cryptic haha.
Thanks for "connecting." Your quotes give me a snippet of your writing which is immediately interesting. I'll be reading at least one of your books and giving one to a friend just returning from England.
I hope you are having a good day! =)
