Don't really have a question, but more like an 'atta-boy' for The Domino Effect; I'm in the closing chapters and have found it to be one of my favorites, over the past year. It's a fast read, and seems to combine knowledge from several life areas, that tell me you, too, have an excellent grasp of what you've written. I'm not financial guru, but I've so-enjoyed reading your tale and the intricate means used. Thanks?

Davis Bunn Dear Tom,

Thanks so much for the wonderful note. You are more than welcome to send as many 'atta-boy's' as you like!

Thanks so much for the wonderful note. You are more than welcome to send as many 'atta-boy's' as you like!

The Domino Effect was the first time in ten years that I put my finance background to work in a story. It was spurred by an opportunity to interview the head of compliance within the Bank of England, which would make him the equivalent of our SEC's watchdog chief. He was brutally frank in his concerns over the way the global banks had restarted using tactics that had brought us to the brink in 2007-8. The longer I listened to him, the more convinced I became that this was a story that had to be told, and now.

Again, thanks for writing.

Warmest regards, Davis(less)

I have just started reading your books late last year and loved them! I especially loved the characters int the stories. I felt like I was the characters and felt what they felt. Did you base the characters on people you know or just make them up?

All the characters are made up, but I do feel like the people and their chatter is a strong point. The term used by writers is, three dimensionality, where they reveal what is inside, who they are, as well as what they're responding to externally. The other term is, strong point of view, where everything the character 'sees' is filtered through their internal emotional state. Both of these are of course how people in the 'real' world move and think and talk and act.

Do I sound like a teacher or what?

Warmly, Davis(less)

Davis Bunn answered Tobe's question: Hello, Mr. Bunn. I've enjoyed reading several of your books. I am currently reading the Christmas Hummingbird. In the book you speak of a seven-book series called "The Elven Child". What I'm wondering is if this is a fictional series that you created for the storyline; or if it is an actual series that was in print years ago? Thank you for taking time to answer my question. May God bless you. Dear Tobe, Thanks so much for your note. I'm so pleased to learn that you've been enjoying the story.
