I just listened to When Christ and His Saints Slept on Audible and it was wonderful! I read it back when it was first published and own it it hardback. Do you know if there are any plans to record the next two books? Also, Are there any plans to record the Here be Dragons trilogy?

Dody, nothing would make me happier than to have all of my novels available as audio books. Unfortunately, it is not up to us. Because of the length of the books and our refusal to allow them to be abridged, there has never been a huge interest because of the high costs involved. We had a break-through when an offer was made for Lionheart and then again for A King's Ransom. The Saints offer made us very happy and I still hope that we might get more offers for other books down the road. But there is nothing I can do to make it happen as much as I love having audio book editions. Saints was just brought out recently, so fingers crossed that their sales are good! That will be the only way for the rest of the series to be reborn as audio book.

When you wrote The Sunne in Splendour in 1982 did you already use a personal computer already? How has technology changed how you write? It must have been far more difficult before the internet to do research for your works? Do you find the net has changed the way you do research?
