And a friend in the british diplomatic service served in Lyon, so in visiting with him, I got to know Burgundy. Before that, I was usually to be found with a glass of Mateus Rose !<br />Glad several have raised an interest in the diplomatic mysteries. I hope you enjoy "The Saladin Affair," but most people like to start with the first book in the series, "Vintage Murder," which actually takes place in Bordeaux.<br />William ShepardWilliam S.

I've read a lot of books set during WWII in England and learned about the brave people who served in the OSS.<br /><br />One of my WIP's MC sells champagnes and sparkling wines. How did you come by your French wine knowledge? Your book on the subject was surprising.E. B.

This morning I had a real treat - while shopping in the local Giant, a lady stopped me and said that she was enjoying "The Saladin Affair," and would I talk to her reading club next month?
