I'm currently reading "Circle of Spies" and I was wondering where you came up with the idea of the 'family prayer book'?
Roseanna M. White
I was inspired by a compilation of Puritan prayers, put together by a man named Arthur Bennett, called VALLEY OF VISION. I loved those prayers, and the prayers themselves were quite old, but the compilation quite new. So I decided it was perfectly reasonable to have someone else hand write a similar compilation into a journal, not to publish but to pass down to his family members. =) I don't know if you've read the whole series, but that family book of prayers was written by the father of book 1's heroine and makes an appearance in each book of the Culper Ring Series, along with the pearl necklace.

I love your Shadows Over England series as well as the Codebreaker series! I cannot wait for A Portrait of Loyalty. I have been wondering something ever since I finished An Hour Unspent. Is there ever a chance that we will get V's story? I know that we see some lovely glimpses in that book, but I would absolutely love getting his full backstory. Do you think you may write it?
