Carolyn Wong Bowen A very happy and prosperous new year to you and your love ones from California, USA. I am a long time fan of your Templar Knight series and have copies of each one of them. I look forward to reading more books in the series.
Mary Jo Neyer Happy New Year from a fan in the state of Ohio. Wishing you a prosperous year with even more success in your writing.
Lynda Mary Cox Merry Christmas from a Sir Baldwin Fan
Joanna Looking for suggestions for intelligent reading matter on the subjects of the Templars and the crusades for a New Zealand lass with a developing interest in the history. Any suggestions anyone for Authors/books? She is keen to read about Baldwin/Simon but wants background and context first...
Stephen Sullivan When I grow up I want to be like Sir Baldwin.Im 51.I live in Wales near Neath Abbey and Swansea castle,both feature in the last days of Edward ll and Despenser.
Andrew Hi Michael, I was wondering of you could suggest a site or book with a list of village names. I am trying to work up a new persona for a Living History group that I am part of and need a village to go with it. You once suggested that I read "Blood Red Roses: The Archaeology of a Mass Grave from the Battle of Towton AD 1461" which was a really informative.
John Nath Hi Michael-- read your newsletter. I'm proud to say that I am a fan. I've read all the books and tell my students about them, too. Keep up the good work.
Louise Booth Oh boy, another one coming! I have enjoyed the series so much, and am on my second go-round rereading ... or for some it's the third. I'm so pleased to hear that you're continuing. I recently had to dig out my old British history texts from eons ago to see what happened to the Despensers. You've made the period come so vividly alive! Thanks!

Hi Michael,
Just read the latest newsletter and found you on here as asked!
Glad you're carrying on with Sir Baldwin and Simon, I've got most of my medieval re-enactment friends into your books now (same period) and my partner and I stayed in Lydford hotel recently and visited most of the villages from the book titles an...d especially Lydford Castle. I am from Devon originally and I love going back the moors (camping next to Wistmans wood by the river is the spookiest yet most tranquil thing, try it!)
Keep up the fantastic work, Cheers!

Hi Michael
Just ordered The Bishop must Die. Can't believe it is book 28. I have read everyone of your books and I am really pleased that the series is going to continue. All the best.
Michael Jecks Very happy today. Just agreed a contract with Simon & Schuster. To move an existing series is always a little difficult and scary, but I'm very confident that the people at S&S are more keen to promote me and my work, both in the UK and (hopefully) US. So, for all those who enjoy the adventures of Simon and Baldwin, th...e series is continuing. Book 29 and 30 are both already approved. More will follow!
Mark Hello Michael. Just found you here. I am a great fan of yours and am very glad to join your growing band of followers. Keep up the fantastic work with Sir Baldwin and Simon.

Thank you for your wonderful Templar Mysteries books. They have helped me learn, as well as teach my eldest son, about that period of the medieval monarchy and The Knights Templar, which he studied recently in school. Your books have allowed me to bring this era to life, rather than just having a mental portrait of a f...at king in a feathered cap or other hum-drum kind of thing I remember from my own secondary school learning.
In teaching my son you have reignited a dream I had long since shelved: that of becoming a teacher. To be able to personally thank you for helping inspire me to go and get that degree and PGCE is fantastic! I begin my degree this coming Monday, and I owe a good deal of credit to you and your novels.
Roll on the next book, raise a jug of ale in cheers, (or perhaps wine if you are like Sir Baldwin), and well done on an excellent series of literary works :)
Michael Jecks There are 63 here now - I have to figure out how to invite folks from my main Michael Jecks site to this page. Not today, though . . . life's too short . . .
