As some of you may know, I am got married on September 27! It's the best thing that's ever happened to me!

But of course, many of you also know that in the past I've had several bad bouts with Lyme Disease. Naturally, right before the biggest event of my life, I've had another serious LD recurrence with more tests showing I may also have MS. It began at the beginning of June and things have progressed to the point that had to leave my day job. I'm still not 100%, but the precious time that I've had to write has been a blessing in disguise.

I've been editing with Leigh Wood recently, but I'm still trying to get some updating done at I Think Therefore I Review. I've posted some new Sharpe reviews and updated the fanlistings posts. I'm also taking on some guest reviews by Leigh, and I've added my new gmail address as a contributor, so don't be confused if you see Kristin Battestella and Kristin Snouffer. They both be me.

Also, my Sharpe and other random Sean Bean reviews are being simulcast at The Mighty Bean website. Take a browse. I have to make use of all my Bean viewings somehow!

We just had a great Valentine contest in support of The Vampire Family, and we've got a lot of virtual dates in March and April. So check back here for event dates and don't forget to sign up at the Kristin Battestella Yahoo Group for the latest!

Hi guys! I've been going out of order for the most part, but overall I like Sharpe a lot. Some of the later books yes are a step down for the original core of books, but I still read them.

Yep, I also notice you're reading Sharpe's Rifles. I've also read them in order, I think about up to where you're at. Bernard Cornwell's a wonderful writer.

I do find the series stretches the believability, but who cares? It's fiction. His attention to detail is brilliant.

I see you read Bernard Cornwell's "Sharpe" series. The movies starring Sean Bean are good.

Kristin,
Anyone who's into Asimov AND Dickens has got to be all right. Asimov's greatest (even including the Foundation trilogy and its sequels) are the Elijah Bailey series like CAVES OF STEEL and THE NAKED SUN. Magnificent. The Vampire Family looks great and I'm going to check it out. Meanwhile, my own superntaural novel, THE LUNDQUIST CHRONICLES, is accessible on http://www.lulu.com/content/4649341 and the ISBN is ISBN 978-1-4092-4153-3
Have a good one and thanks for the friendship,
ROGER
