âRT Book Reviews on Lawless
Dear Reader,
This book is a continuation of my Morcai Battalion series, which, with the publication of this one, now comprises five novels. I never dreamed the first one would ever be reprinted, much less that I would be allowed to do more. It truly is a dream come true.
Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way, especially Tara and Mary-Theresa, and all the kind people who encouraged me. When I started the Morcai Battalion in late 1964 as nothing more than a short story for a writing course, I thought that my characters would lie dormant forever after. But there was more to be written than I knew at the time.
As they say, itâs not the destination, itâs the journey. And what a long and fascinating journey itâs been! To all of you whom I met along the way, thank you for your encouragement, kindness and prayers. Writing is a lonely business. But the richest reward it brings is not money or fame; itâs friendship. Thank you for yours.
I am your biggest fan,
Diana Palmer
To my friend, editor Carly Silver at Harlequin, who has been so kind and supportive over the years. Thanks for everything!
