“Wolfe was drinking beer and looking at pictures of snowflakes in a book someone had sent him from Czechoslovakia...
...Wolfe seemed absorbed in the pictures. Looking at him, I said to myself, "He's in a battle with the elements. He's fighting his way through a raging blizzard, just sitting there comfortably looking at pictures of snowflakes. That's the advantage of being an artist, of having imagination." I said aloud, "You mustn't go to sleep, sir, it's fatal. You freeze to death.”

Thank you for adding me as a friend. I read your books in the Farseer Trilogy. It was so mesmerising with the depths of emotions you evoked with your characters that I am finding myself at a loss which other next best fantasy book to pick up and enjoy as much as I did yours :)

‘Hope is a place best not forgotten’ —Iain Cameron Williams 🇺🇦


I wanted to tell you that I love your books, I read your latest books first. After I had read them, it makes me want to read the next one. So then have started reading all your other earlier books, they all capture my imagination and transport me to somewhere else. My favorite characters are Fitz and the Fool. Thank you so much for writing your books, and creating them, and in so doing, delighting our souls. Best wishes to you.

Ps. Can Fools Quest be released already? :D
/L

It's an honor to befriend an author of such high regard, thank you so much for accepting.:)


Now I understand her.
I guess we are masochists))) for we love you even after that))))))
So I sending her Hellos to the Creator of the Fool also, thank you, excuse us for intruding and have a good day!!!
