Chris asked Sam Kates:

Hi Sam. I'm sure I can see traces of a contented child who may have been brought up in a small Welsh village called Penyfai? Enjoyed book one. Just downloaded book 2.

Sam Kates Hi, Chris.
Ha! You have me at a disadvantage. Yes, I am that child (and still the same at heart). Not sure what book you're referring to - I have two completed trilogies - but if it's The Cleansing, then (as you may have realised) the village of Penmawr in that book is essentially Pen-y-fai.
Glad you enjoyed and thank you for your support, and for piquing my curiosity as to who you are.
Best wishes.
Sam.
