We are so very proud to have her pirate series as B.R.A.G.Medallion Honorees. Since Helen was one of the first people I spoke with about indieBRAG, I guess I could consider her a wise, and generous godmother! <br />Great author, great person-Gerihttp://www.bragmedallion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264965526853735683.post-80730702174926655692014-03-04T01:13:44.506+00:002014-03-04T01:13:44.506+00:00I was given a copy of Here Be Dragons by a FB frie...I was given a copy of Here Be Dragons by a FB friend I visited at her home in Wales in 1997--the beginning of a wonderful love of SKPs books! I wait with bated breath for each new one. Have most of Elizabeth Chadwick's books in print and on my Kindle, and am thankful her original stories are now available. I have visited a lot of the sites including The White Castle but Chepstow will always have a special place as will William the Marshall. I am about to read Helen's A King for all Seasons now.

I would have to also agree that Bernard Cornwell's books with Azincourt being a favorite as a fourth contender. Seems we have the same taste in authors and books. :) Thank you for commenting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08045143377722829797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264965526853735683.post-49974970371000176352014-02-24T11:39:10.697+00:002014-02-24T11:39:10.697+00:00Thank you Marsha for your very interesting read on...Thank you Marsha for your very interesting read on your favourite three authors and why. At the risk of sounding very boring I can only re-iterate my own experiences in discovering my own top three too. I discovered Sharon first when I purchased "Here be Kings" many years ago and the rest followed rapidly. I found Helen's fabulous books when I discovered and bought "A Hollow Crown" my most favourite of all her books on my shelves. Then came Elizabeth and my favourite of all of her books that I have bought and read is "A Place Beyond Courage" I feel I need to add Bernard Cornwell as a fourth contender too. My favourite of his books - "Azincourt". I am with you entirely with all the reasons you give as to why these wonderful writers are your top three and mine too.korculabluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559741052274430246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264965526853735683.post-17710823927942997012014-02-23T18:11:54.254+00:002014-02-23T18:11:54.254+00:00And thank you for propelling my interest in King H...And thank you for propelling my interest in King Harold.
