Well, I tell you, this kind of comment makes it all worthwhile! Initially, the response was quite poor and left me asking myself, was it something I'd said? But I feel better now and very glad (and appreciative) that you've enjoyed them, and, the most important thing, that they've inspired you to read more!
(Elizabeth O'Shea's story was a wonderful new discovery for me - even though it's a story which BSL has always said was good I'd never got round to it before my recent 'research').

Thanks *so* much for those kind words, they mean a lot.
