And, even more, I was ecstatic reading through your lovely interview questions (so well done!), and of course, Diana's storybook type answers - conversational and informative! It is truly a peek into the mind of a great author who loves her craft and knows how to communicate her process very expertly.

I absolutely love all of Diana’s War Of Independence (& other) Battle depictions, but this one in particular was handled with such skill that it really impressed me. Diana’s ability to describe such a complex & wide ranging series of skirmishes from a number of different viewpoints of protagonists on both sides so convincingly is admirable. Our characters involvement is entirely convincing.
