That sounds like high praise indeed, Garry. Thank you!

Finally got around to reading Lost River.  I liked it.  Two stories in one really.  Sometimes this idea doesn't work, an alternate chapter of each but in Lost River it did work.

I thought that when Diane returned to Edendale she would be so grateful for Ben's help that they'd end up ........ well you know, especially after his difficulties with Liz.  I suppose Stephen is saving that for another day!

Fantastic book, I just couldn't put it down and I, like Barry thought that maybe Diane and Ben may form a closer relationship but always thought it more of a brother sister kind of thing with Ben deeply caring for her.  But i may have changed my mind with the last words in the book. "Did I?" From Ben as he watches Diane walk away.

I'm from Burton which as you say the River Dove forms the boundry between Staffordshire and Derbyshire and actually used to swim in it as a child. I have visited so many of the places you use as the settings of your books, plus I now live in north Birmingham and it was great to identify with all the places Diane went .  I have even played those online war games and was surprised at how much I understood.

More please Stephen and don't keep us waiting too long
