I wonder how....
...people in the 17th century must have experienced Christmas. Golden gates of heaven opening during the church service? Christ descending on earth?
Living in a world where illness, starvation and death were daily dangers that could strike at any given moment of time, Christmas was the key to salvation and must have been a profound experience far beyond the shallow festivities we have in mind nowadays.
Nobody wants to move back to the old times, but I wish all of you a good dose of this old-time experience.... and make it last into the next year, whatever religion or belief may be yours.
cheers!

The Duke & the Imposter
working hard with my copy editor to iron out the last issues.
The new sequel will be set mainly in England although the story starts in France, in Montrésor. It's a story of it's own although you'll meet again many characters from the past books.
It's a great plot and I'm sure the fans of the French Orphan will like the new book hopefully to be published in January.
Thanks and a merry Christmas to all readers who gave me their valuable feedback and encouragement, by now more than 500 ratings and more than 100 reviews have been made. That's truly amazing!
Have a Happy New Year!
