It took around ten years to write The Eagle & the Child. After that much time, you can almost become the character while you write their thoughts and dialogue. Since the author is the most subjective of critics, it feels wonderful to have an objective reviewer say that she can feel the intensity that I put into each character. After she posted her review of E&C, I sent one reviewer a thank-you email. This is what she wrote back. With her permission, I'm quoting her:

"I have to admit I felt like I was emotionally exhausted when I finished reading. But it was a good tired. I thought you might enjoy this little bit of information too. One of the days I was reading, my eyes were really tired, kind of dry It was probably because I was so into the book that I wasn't blinking any or looking away from my kindle to rest my eyes. I made several attempts to rest my eyes by laying my kindle down.. But I just couldn't stay away from the story, it pulled at me. Thank you, now that is powerful writing." - L. Walters
