I was very pleased to receive an advance reading copy of
Lion of Babylon. Once again the characters in your book have walked out of the book into my mind and will probably be there forever. I couldn't put the book down. I felt both entertained and educated by the time I finished. I hope it goes well. It will certainly be on my Christmas list for the readers in our family this year.
Dear Joy,
It was so good to hear that you connected with Lion of Babylon. This particular waiting period has been so very long, having completed the first draft in September, and the book not due for release until July. Yours is only the second response I have received so far, and it means the world.

I read
Lion of Babylon in less than 24 hours.
Dear Mary,
It's early days yet, but that definitely is a record so far. It's also the sort of thing that is music to my ears. My aim was to tell an extremely complex story, but do so in a manner that flowed smoothly from beginning to end, the style very simple and engaging. Make a book that invited the reader in and swept them along. That was the goal.
So your lovely little note is a fabulous affirmation that, at least with you, my dream has come true.
