[A Pageant of Shadows] kept me up till 2 AM last night! I couldn't wait to tell you how much I'm enjoying this wonderful book.  I knew that I would love hearing your voice telling me a story, but I must admit that I was a little unprepared for the richness of your words and your imaginative personal style.  I haven't finished yet, but for me, Pageant is one of those books that I will truly miss my new friends and their lives when I finish my last words.?
