How nice of you to mention it! Yes, we were thrilled with SD's review of the trilogy - just as we were with yours. Both of you seemed to experience what we wanted our readers to experience.

BTW, they make good presents for this holiday season! Or any time during the year!


Kernos I just saw the amazing review of Tapestry of Bronze by Steve Donoghue at THNS: http://historicalnovelsociety.org/rev...

Congrats to both of you.


Stephanie Thank you for your friendship! :)
