I would like to thank all of you who have posted such wonderful compliments about Sunne on my blog. If only I had enough copies, I’d love to give one to every one of you.
There is good news about one of my Facebook friends and fellow writers, David Blixt. I know many of you share my enjoyment of his novels, so I thought this would be of interest. He gave me permission to post this. David and I are meeting for the first time at the Historical Novel Society Convention in Denver in late June, and for me, one of the highlights will be attending the two seminars he is giving, one on swordplay and one on the proper way to dispatch someone with a dagger. He’s had a lot experience doing that—no, not lurking in alleys to ambush book reviewers and critics, although all writers would find that tempting. He commits his mayhem on the stage; in addition to being a gifted writer, David is an actor, producer, and director. He says he likes to recruit volunteers from his audiences, but being close to my biblical three-score years and ten and an all-around klutz, I plan to cheer him on from the sidelines. It would be embarrassing if I accidentally zigged when I should have zagged and caused him to lose a body part.

Your info re David Blixt interested me as to my shame I have not heard of this author previously. Your recommendation as to the quality of his books was enough to set me on the trail immediately (smiles) I tracked his first book "The Master of Verona" is now winging its way to me. Hmmm... my problem as always is where can I find the room on my bookshelves for it lol. Incidentally, I recently purchased your Kindle edition of Sunne to save me carrying such a heavy book on my bus journeys. Now I can enjoy it on my iPhone or Kindle Fire. Thank you as always for the pleasure of reading your books and looking fwd to beginning David's book too. Enjoy the Historical Novel Society Convention but mind what you re doing with that dagger LOL.
