		<description><![CDATA[Diana,
Thank you for your wonderful gift to us!  I know it will keep me going through the remaing (rough) months while waiting for your next book to be published.  Jamie, Claire and all the other characters have become such beloved family!  (They kept me going through the howling and ravaging winds and rain of Hurricane Sandy!) I send my very best for a beautiful Holiday and New Year!

Fondly,
Julie in Long Island]]></description>

Your writing never fails to put a smile on my face! This description of Mrs. Figg is one of my favourite sentences ever. It is perfectly descriptive, beautifully eloquent, and above all makes me giggle.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Sharon--

   &quot;Keren-happuch&quot; is a name from the Bible.  You&#039;d find Biblical names used for children very frequently through the 18th and 19th centuries.

		<description><![CDATA[I have loved every book, and am trying to locate the very few I have missed.  I will await, eagerly, &quot;A Trail of Fire&quot;.  I do have a question: a sister of my 2d (or3d) grt grandmother was named Karen or Keren-. Happuch Smith. In &quot;The Scottish Prisoner&quot;, p.400-469, a Welsh kitchen maid at Helwater has that name. It is a family mystery.  Can you explain its derivation? Please know I admire all your wonderful historical research, adding greatly to my understanding and appreciation.  Thank you for many hours of enjoyment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh how I love this story!  It is going to be hard to wait for the next volume.  I can hardly believe that I have been in love with this series for so long.  I&#039;ve read these books over and over again, and always, some new detail comes to light, intensifying and enriching the fabric of the story.  Although I&#039;ve just finished reading them again, I am quite certain I&#039;ll devour them again before I read &quot;Written in My Own Heart&#039;s Blood&quot;!]]></description>
