When I finish a book, I’m often
curious about things the author has used or talked about in the
book. If you're interested in learning more about some of the things
discussed in my books, here are some fun links:
Forests:
Few places seem as magical and full of possibilities as a forest.
This link will take you to a sight dedicated to England’s New
Forest, which is the granddaddy of all forests in my mind. Great
pictures.

 Falcons:
Falcons are such noble, awe-inspiring birds. Here are some great
websites that can tell you more about falcons. You’ll also be able
to see some really great pictures.

 The Razing of England:
Warfare is not pretty, nor is conquering a native population. In
1066 when William the Conqueror invaded England, he went to great
lengths to squelch any opposition. This link tells all about it:
