Just wanted to know...why did you change the title from "Across a Bridge of Dreams" to "The Samurai's Daughter" ? Tho i like the later title, sounded more related to the series ...by the way, i'm finishing soon on Book 2....i can visualize the war from your writings.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your question and for your enthusiasm! Very happy to hear that you can visualise the war. That’s exactly what I’ve tried to do - take you there.
In answer to your question, I personally chose and liked the title Across a Bridge of Dreams. But the publisher felt it didn’t tell people clearly enough what the book was about - and, as you point out, The Samurai’s Daughter chimes better with the titles of the other four books in the quartet.
V best,
Lesley
