Josephine. Jesus loves you SO much!!! asked Melanie Dickerson:

Hello Melanie, I am definite book lover and I have to say that you are by far one of my favourite authors! I was just curious about Thornbeck series and The Golden Braid though. Is Sir Gerek related to anyone from the Thornbeck reigon? Because I noticed that Thornbeck takes place before all of the Hagenheim books, except the Merchants Daughter.
