response to readers comments
Hi there;
Hi there;
First of all, I want to thank all of your for your kind words and comments on SHADOW OF OBSESSION. Darius is one of my favorite character from the Highlander universe and it was a pleasure to write about him.
Now, to a couple of specific responses: As for the spelling of Aryan, rather than Arian -- that was taken straight from the history books, including books on Church history of the early centuries. I have seen it spelled both ways, but the dominant spelling was Aryan and thus it was the one I chose to use. It is an earlier spelling than Arian and is found in many older works that sight primary source material.
As for the marriage of Alaric of the Visigoths to the sister of Emperor Honorius of Rome, Gallia Placida -- that, too, is a fact taken from the history books. Ataulf was named King of the Visigoths after Alaric's death and it was then that Gallia Placida become his wife. But she was first married to Alaric, which sealed the peace between the Visigoths and Rome. This information is from several sources, including the Encyclopedia Brittanica, The Story of Civilization by Will and Ariel Durant, and The Invasion of Europe by the Barbarians by J.B. Bury.
I am an historian who has been studying pre-Christian through Medieval history in Europe for over 32 years, and I try to be very careful with the facts I put in my books.
As for Cynthia being a female version of Grayson -- that was part of the point of her character; she had never fully developed as an individual, but had stopped at the point of her obsession. Remember also, that a media tie-in author is often at the mercy of the media "Powers-that-Be." Much of what I had invisioned for that part of the book and for the contemporary characters, was changed by the demands of others.
Anyway, I hope that you continue to enjoy the books I write and thank you again for your kind comments.
Peace and Blessings, Rebecca Neason
