   It sounds like things have been going well for you and yours and I am pleased   
   to   
   hear it.   
      
   I was also pleased to download your book about Cynthia yesterday and have since   
   been reading it; by the second story I was hooked and then didn't stop 'til I'd   
   finished. Thoroughly enjoyed it; I liked Cynthia and Komi and found the   
   supernatural elements very well-done, for want of a better word enchanting.   
   And the ending was great, just wish there was more! Made me think I haven't   
   been   
   paying enough attention to Fantasy.   
      
   (Have now found my copy of _Grand Central Arena_ and hereby declare it to be   
   rasfc reading week throughout the land! Or this bit of warm and noisy South   
   London anyway.)

   Oh my, I haven't even been in in rassef-w for aeons! Must get on that. Totally   
   confused by blogs and forums and certain I haven't found the good ones. Last   
   time   
   I searched for general SF discussion on the internet was when I discovered   
   USENET.

   Thank you very much, it's very kind of you to say so!   
      
   It's good to be back even if we're currently (as it were) travellers camped in   
   the ruins of a lost city (doubtless with Coeurl lurking behind a crumbling   
   pyramid, unless that's Aslan, waving his tail).
