Indeed I have got the updated 2013 edition and did read your 2013 Authors Note. The discovery of Richard's remains in 2012 in a car-park in Leicester prove beyond a doubt that Shakespeare's depiction of Richard as a deformed hunchback as being completely false I have seen the documentary King in the Car park and Richard was both physically athletic and quite good looking?

It was fascinating to see Richard as he really was, Gary. The best-known painting of Richard was "doctored" to make him appear more sinister; he also looked decades older than he really was. This reconstruction restores his youth; he was only 32 at the time of his death.
I'm glad you are using the newer edition of Sunne for your review. Any chance I'll get to read it?

I have another question. Have you been approached with any offers to adapt your books into a film or TV series? With the current popularity of Game of Thrones, and the interest in Richard III after the discovery of his remains, I'd expect producers to be eager to buy the rights to one of your novels, especially Sunne. If this were to happen, which actors do you see playing the roles? And would you work on the script?
