“You've heard tales of beauty and the beast. How a fair maid falls in love with a monster and sees the beauty of his soul beneath the hideous visage. But you've never heard the tale of the handsome man falling for the monstrous woman and finding joy in her love, because it doesn't happen, not even in a story-teller's tale.”

Hi Karen,Just to let you know I finished The Gallows Curse last night and LOVED it as much as the others. I'll post a review here and on Amazon, after it appears in Words with Jam magazine.
Cheers,
Liza

I suppose I've been much preoccupied these last couple of years with research on the Inquisition and Reformation for 'Falcons of Fire & Ice'. Similiar situations in many ways to Nazi Germany. The evil man is capable of and the extraordinary courage people can demonstrate in the face of evil, never ceases to fill me with awe. I am always left asking the question about what I'd have done if I'd lived through that. Sounds like a book I must read, thank you.
Hello again Karen, An excellent book I have just finished is 'All That I Am' by Anna Funder. It's a brilliant and challenging book to read. A book that needed to be written and needs to be read. It's all about a group of people living in Germany at the time that Hitler came to power. How they struggled to tell the world of his evil and yet struggled to be believed.Michael

Thanks Liza. It was so kind of you to read and I am so thrilled that you enjoyed it. It was a strange book to write as so many things popped up in that I didn't plan. I was walking down that underground passage in my head and saw things in the cages I really wasn't expecting as I wrote. I don't know if that happens to you when you write.
