From a writer’s viewpoint, Dragons had everything-suspense, tragedies and triumphs, a clash of cultures, a remarkable love story that happened to be true, all set amidst the bittersweet beauty of a land overshadowed by a more powerful neighbor. And I was intrigued to be able to write about a time and place unfamiliar to many of my readers, to introduce them to a man who would become known both to history and his contemporaries as Llywelyn Fawr–Llywelyn the Great. After spending twelve years writing Sunne, it was a relief to have characters still alive at the end of Dragons. But if I were compelled to confess, I would probably name Here be Dragons as my own favorite of my books. I hesitate when readers ask me if I have a favorite among my books it almost seems like a mother confiding that she loves little Suzie more than Johnny, doesn’t it? My first novel, The Sunne in Splendour, will always have a special place in my heart, for it opened the door to a writing career and allowed me to escape the practice of law.
