While planning for a long international trip and knowing that I do not tend to sleep on planes (and react to jet lag terribly) I decided to buy some books.
I hadn’t read any of your books and grabbed one off the shelf, because–a little embarrassed here–the cover looked good (The Burning Land; terrific cover). Anyway–and this gets more embarrassing–the book store had a buy 4 get the 5th free deal (did I mention it was a long flight), so I walked out with 5 of your books (all with good covers).
I had only just started to read The Burning Land when a gentleman commented that I would really enjoy that book. I said, “I am enjoying it…” That must not have come out as mean as it sounds here because he kept on talking about your books and then a much younger man chimed in with his comments; and then a lady joined the conversation about the book I was trying to read! I ended up sharing one of your books with her as she hadn’t read it yet. Don’t worry it wasn’t the free one.
So, I just wanted to thank you for such a fascinating read and for helping me to meet 3 new and interesting friends.
Kind Regards
