It feels like forever since I was able to post on Facebook and my blog and Goodreads, but I’ve been going through a rough patch, still struggling with that pinched nerve, a very nasty foe. I hope my American friends and readers had a good Thanksgiving. Now that I am feeling a little better, I hope to start posting more regularly again. I do have good news to report. The new Bernard Cornwell book in his spectacular Saxon series is now out in the US; It came out in the UK in October. The title is The Flame-thrower and it is wonderful; he just keeps getting better and better. And the evil entity masquerading as a HP laptop is dead. Yes, Diablo chose the middle of my health crisis to have a major meltdown and his demons could not be exorcised. Because he was still under warranty, HP gave me a replacement computer and I am taking some comfort in imagining Diablo rotting away in some computer landfill; it would have been more satisfying, though, if I’d been able to drive a stake through his heart.

Must admit that I was accosted in the village and a gentleman said my book was better than a Bernard Cornwell. When i asked him why he said that usually the Cornwell novels just flow from one battle to another without much story in between. I hope the one you mentioned proves him wrong.
