Rob, I love the first chapter of "Tales & Treasure," I wish THE LOST FOREST was a real book; I feel sure that I would love it. Vatis is a wonderful character; he is real and vulnerable and finding his way. It's very easy for the reader to root for him and walk in his shoes. The opening hooked me instantly, and now I will need to make time to read the rest. One thought, I would love to see more description. You have wonderful travels and places in the story. This reader would liked to see them in his mind's eye. A delight!

Thoroughly enjoyed Vatis the Bard and the start of what primises to be a twisting, fun adventure through a medieval land.

This is an excellent first chapter. Vatis bending over a dying man, feeling not grief or rage but…mild disappointment that he won’t get to finish his story , sets up the character’s motives and personality quite well
