The best compliment for a writer is that the reader of a story wants more. I appreciate your comments very much, that you liked the little touches of their culture, and that you enjoyed the first sailing test and the scene with Elwe and Nowe together at the end. It's a romantic image, Nowe waiting on the shore for Elwe, always looking and hoping for his return.

It's so great of you to write and let me know that you like the story and enjoyed it so much. It makes me happy to know I was able to capture the time and place in an interesting and entertainting way.

Thanks so much!
