Product Description
From the Author
Clearing up any confusion as to the age of my protagonist.
Just for the record, I'd like to clear up any confusion about the age of Benni Harper, my protagonist, since one set of comments by a reader reveals that it might be confusing. The first book, Fool's Puzzle, is set in November 1992. Mariner's Compass, the sixth book, if you follow the series chronologically, is set in April/May 1994. That makes Benni Harper 36 years old. It has taken me 7 years to write 2 years in Benni's life. It is something I've done intentionally because her grandmother, Dove, was 75 when the series started and I didn't want to age her in real time so she could stay in her 70's and remain as active and vital as I would like her to be. Also, I wanted to deal extensively with the early aspects of Benni and Gabe's marriage rather than skipping over it as I would have to do if I aged them at the rate I am aging (which is definitely too fast for my taste). Aging people in a series is a sticky proposition that becomes more difficult as the series continues. I've chosen to do it this way; other writers choose to ignore aging altogether. I hope this clears things up for my fans. I appreciate all your comments and hope you continue to enjoy reading about Benni and Gabe as much as I enjoy writing about them.
