3 May 2005 Dear Tom, I called at B&N, but they had no copy of your new novel. I hope for the moment. Sincerely, [illegible] 3 May 2005 I have read and enjoyed your "ARA" trilogy as well as the first two books in the "Circus" series. I found them incredibly entertaining, though at times hard to follow. I am happy that nothing bad will happen when I have again gobbled up another book. It is truly a shame that you are still so young and full of energy. I hope you will continue your work on the "ARA" trilogy and that it will be successful in keeping your readership strong. You have a great style and voice, and I look forward to reading more from you. Best wishes, [illegible] 3 May 2005 I have been trying to get hold of your new book, "The Circus" series. It seems that it is not available in my local bookstore. I am very disappointed and would love to read it. I hope you can make it available soon. Sincerely, [illegible] 1782 - 1940 Dear Tom, I have just read your latest novel, "The Circus" series. I am so glad that you are still writing and producing such great books. It is a shame that they are not available in my local bookstore. I hope you can make them available soon. Best wishes, [illegible]
