I wasn't planning to post twice this week. Then I found out that the Great Storyteller, Brian Jacques, is dead.
The Redwall books lured me into reading and hooked me forever. Oh, and writing. The first novel I started was a Redwall ripoff. I never finished it, but until this week I cherished the thought of sending him a copy of my first published book and a letter to tell him it was all his fault I started writing in the first place and - thanking him O so much.
So, without further ado,
Thank you, Mr. Jacques. Oh, so much.
