Inspiration and thanks – for Dark Matter, Thin Air and Wakenhyrst

Hi Michelle. I can't tell you how excited I am to read your new books. I have pre ordered both. Also it's great you are promoting independent book stores. I have fallen in love with Thin Air and Dark Matter and Wakenhyrst. There is something about your books that hooks in my own adventurous spirit. I read the three books regularly and imagine myself as the characters in Dark Matter and Thin Air. I feel I am an adventurer in my own little world in Norfolk, England and try every day to explore and be in nature. Thank you for being so inspiring and awesome. Aly (52 years old and forever young).

Dear Aly, it’s great that you like my writing, and I do envy you living in Norfolk; what opportunities you must have for being out in nature – as your photo demonstrates.  I really hope that you enjoy Rainforest and my contribution to The Witching Hour (not to mention those of my fellow writers), as and when you get hold of them.  In the meantime, more power to your swimming!  With best wishes, Michelle
