How much of a Historian are you in Contemporary Time? The things I so enjoy about your books (and yes, I've finished thru #9 though I'm starting into the short stories) is your very-Terry-Pratchett-ish writing style, and reading the "briefings" for each Historical Exploration. Who does your research? Thank you for St.Mary's.

Hi. I do my own research. Masses of it and sadly, most of it is never used. I once spent two days reading up on the War of Jenkins's Ear and I think it was about two lines in the book. I'm not much interested in contemporary time - it's a bit of a struggle to get up in the morning for anything after 1485! Thanks for enjoying the books. Jodi.

Hi Jodie, Not a question as such more an idea, sure its probably been mentioned before. With so many short stories in the series which fit in various different points with the main books, do you think it would be possible for one big book with all 'books' in their chronological order? Or is that a crazy idea, although St Mary's are the kings and queens of crazy ideas so maybe its fitting!
