Mooseboy, I just hid what could be a spoiler for someone who hasn't read the Trinity.  No big deal.

Spoiler alert!!  Reader, highlight blacked out area if you wish to read hidden text.

Hey Fiona,I just finished reading Trinity, i thought it was so great how you finished it with the host and torkyn forgiving orlac, Letting him return to the Glade, i loved it. Excellent job =).Now i find myself wondering if your other book series are similar to Trinity, like having a Medi-Evil setting?when reading about the town's such as Hatten where Tor met Cyrus in the Pub, i felt as if i was actually there, with a clear picture of the Inn on my mind, im wondering if there wll be old taverns and castles and forests in your other books? :).Regards, Moose :).PS. Excellent job on trinity =).

Hello Moose! Thanks for enjoying Trinity and yes, I believe I can safely say that having enjoyed that first series of mine you will definitely not be disappointed by The Quickening. That's the second series I wrote and still probably the most popular. Every inch the medieval setting with inns and dungeons and monasteries and wicked kings! I hope you love it. Start with Myrren's Gift and enjoy! Thanks for stopping by to let me know. Visit often! F

I named Alyssa for your daughter, of course! Thanks again, Jolet.

David Gemmell was a Christian? I didn't know that. As well as Fiona.  I am also a Christian, so that's cool.

Gemmell = A True Legend, sadly missed.

Hi,  wow, im gobsmacked... Just finished reading Trinity and Im walking on air. Ive been looking for a new author to get stuck into for a while and my daughters friend recommended Fiona. So I came on line and thought Id find the first book, as Im one of them that likes to start at the beginning and work my way through. My husband says its because Im scared of missing out on something. However I digress Im back now to discover the next set to read then I will purchase them on ebay and read my way around France this summer. Once again many thanks for some great books and giving me many many more hours of fantastic reading to look forward to.

Oh spoil yourself MMM and grab them all easily in one hit from a good bookstore and keep us writers, publishers and booksellers in business!  Thanks for loving Trinity - I really do appreciate you giving a new writer a go.  I know how fraught with danger and disappointment it can be.  Glad I impressed with Trinity and here's hoping The Quickening pleases you equally and what a fine place to be reading it!  Enjoy yourself.

Oh blimey, I didn't mean to make you feel guilty!  It was just a tongue in cheek remark, I promise.  <grin>   Please, please, please go to Ladure in Paris and have a chocolate macaroon for me....the bigger size.  F

I just finished the Trinity Trilogy for the second time! I can't believe how those books kept me captivated... (Even more than Harry Potter lol)
And of course I couldn't miss the opportunity to give my humble opinion to the author herself...
The way you developed all the characters is amazing! I could swear I instantly fell in love with some of them... I can form their pictures very clearly in my mind through the vivid descriptions, I just wish I could draw them...
I'll be sure to read at least the Quickening Trilogy at some point, and hopefully the others too! It's just so sad each time that the story is actually over... I really wish it'd be endless! ~SG *All the way from Holland!*

Hello, hello Saxgirl! I'm a reader too so I know how hard it is to let go of characters you've fallen for and especially to leave their world, but thanks for enjoying it enough to read Trinity twice. Yes, hope you try the others - The Quickening is published in Dutch and do you know I wasn't aware that the Netherlands had taken Trinity....or did you read the English version. Wish I was bi-lingual! Thank you anyway and I'll be briefly passing through Amsterdam - just a day - later this year but at least it's a chance to yell out a big hello to all the wonderful readers there. Hope you will hear me! F

I did read them in English^^ I know they haven't been translated to Dutch yet, but I always like the original better anyway! Yes, it's very nice being bilingual:) It can really be an advantage sometimes^^

P.S. Sorry this is posted twice, but I noticed there was a mistake in the first. Too bad I couldn't delete it..

I can.. Your friendly moderator, Phil.
