Hi Barbara,
Much to my chagrin, I haven't read all your books but that doesn't mean I won't. That said, my sister recommended reading "Lady of Hay" back in the 80's because of the past life regression theme. LOVED IT! I loaned the book to so many people the paperback fell apart and several pages mysteriously disappeared. I bought another copy and continued lending it out until it never came back. About 3 years ago, I bought a used hardbound copy online just so I would have it to read again whenever I wanted and did. Loved it again! This absolutely must be a movie! I have a degree in English, graduated with honors (curtsy), and would like to try my hand at writing a screenplay, something I never did in college. One problem, I can't find it electronically. I'm willing to pay for it but the only place that had it gave my computer a nasty virus. Any thoughts on who has the e-"Lady of Hay" to download? Thanks for writing the book. You're an incredible author and an inspiration.

Seems like eturnity when waiting for your next book,they feed my mind and soul, thankyou for such brilliant gastranomic words,shaped and baked into a world that takes me willingly amongst its hero,s and heroins......................mystery at its best.

As a reader from South Africa, I thought that I would like to contribute to your blog by saying that I have always enjoyed reading your books and always look forward to the next one.

I have recently joined a local Book Club and have found at least one other fan and hope to 'convert' some of the others in due course. Thank you, God bless

It's a good blog,I like it and I'll read it everyday!

Great Website. Just wanted to let you know that I am glad your new novel goes back to the supernatural/mystical. I got House of Echoes for christmas one year and have benn hooked on your work ever since!!! I absolutely loved Midnight is a Lonely Place which I read while I was camping in the woods - needless to say the story scared the pants off of me, had a few slefless night in the tent and I still remember the story vividly even though its been years now. I have since read all of your books and am anxiously awaiting the next and the next and the next.... My next favorites are House of Echoes and Whispers in the Sand and Child of the Phoenix which was an absolute masterpiece. Hope you write more books like these four.

All the best

Hi Barbara,

I love your books and your blog! I would be interested to obtain your opinion on the geneology of the de Braose family as per British Library, Cotton Julius D, x. Surely if as stated Reginald de Braose was born after Annora de Broase who seems to have a genuine birth date of 1190 then he could not possibly have had a son 'Black William' in 1197! Just wondered if you had an opinion on this? Also was the ghostly lady at Fotheringay Castle in Kingdom of Shadows the future Mary Queen of Scotts (I always thought she was!)

Best wishes,

Julie

I somehow dont agree with a few things, but its great anyways.

Very great site.
The information here is truly important.

I will invite my friends.

Cheers

I like this site really much.

This is such a extraordinary place.
And it is not like other money directed website, the content here is genuinely useful.

I am definitely bookmarking it as well as sharing it with my friends.

:)

Good to read your blog. Hope my "crazed fan" persona in Superdrug, Frinton didn't spoil your trip! Am just getting to the end of On the edge of darkness- again. Some books you just don't want to end!

Barbara, I've read every one of your books and have simply loved them all,just finished the Warrior's Princess and now mooching !! I can relate to so much in your writings,I'm sure if I met you we would be friends.Can't wait for your next masterpiece,keep up the good work!

I am liking your nice new website, lets hope you manage to make time to visit regularly yourself but not too much because we all need you to WRITE MORE BOOKS!!
Just to say that i am a massive fan, i first read one of your books which was the "house of echoes" at one of my friends house (i may have been 14 years old ,i am 22 now) i picked it up to flick through and i couldnt put it down, my friend obviously noticed this (probably because i was ignoring her) and said i could borrow it (i never gave it back). I have always been a reader and have been into many different styles from easy read girly books for holidays to horrors, but i have never found a book that i have managed to feel like it was just ME and what i wanted to read, what i was interested in. So i bought another which i think was either "whispers in the sand" or "hiding from the light", but you had managed to do it again and again i haven't read an author that has managed to grip me to a book as much as you, they really are the most cliche "unputdownable" books ever. I think there are a few i still need to read but birthdays and xmas's are when i seem to get them off my boyfriend, lets hope he has kept the list of ones i havent read (i think i may have to make a new one). Thank you again, i will look forward to the next book with anticipation. Michaelax

Hi Ms. Erskine,

I've been an avid fan of your novels since the 80's. I just wanted to say thank you as you've brought a lot of joy to my life through your works!

Hello Barbara

I think the Blog is a brilliant addition to the website. I shall be keeping up to date with you from now on. Don't worry too much about the short stories we're all waiting for the next novel - no pressure!
My mother and I really do love your books the first I read being Lady of Hay mostly because we're from Wales and I knew the name Walby was a feature in the book.

I have a question regarding Kingdom of shadows, in the book a ghostly lady is featured in Fotheringhay castle but then not mentioned again in the book, who was she lady?

I’m looking forward to the next novel and so are the others on your Facebook fan page. Keep on writing!

Kind regards

Hi Barbara,
I was told that one of your books mentioned Marjorie Dunbar nee Comyn (d 1296???)
I am looking into the history of the Arthur Memorial Church which sits on the site of Cumnock (Comenagh) Castle, Castle Hill, Castle, New Cumnock, Ayrshire and thought you would love to do a story on "Comenagh", the meeting place.
Cumnock Castle was held by Marjorie's husband, Patrick Dunbar, and William Wallace recuperated here for 3 months in the winter of 1296/97. Marjorie disappears from records in 1296 after holding Dunbar Castle for the Scots.
Edward II held court for 12 days in Cumnock Castle in August 1307, camping his recently deceased father's vast army around the Black Loch. Patrick died soon after, in 1298.

Hope you're interested.
The Arthur now sits derelict on the top of Castle Hill looking down on Afton Water and River Nith.

Cheers, Geoff

Love the new website, Barbara, and adore the sound of your wood. Good luck putting the foreign editions up!

lovely new layout and I love the idea of the blog.

I have recently created my own website also (very time consuming!) and I hope you don't mind but I have put a link to your web site under there. If you would like to take a look, it can be found at: www.harlenescorner.co.uk
