I most assuredly am; especially with respect to your "scholarly" treatment of the youthful cast featured in your serial The Visitor.
Coming from the quilled-pen of an individual self professing to be "not the brightest candle in the box", let me enlighten you my friend:
I would allow you to illuminate my path, and lead me into a darkened journey with you, any time and anywhere. I'm that assured you are capable of dispelling, and know you most certainly would, all residual fear I may have of venturing though the previously uncharted territory of that magnificent mind of yours.
Wherever you walk, the colours of the unknown will ever after turn into most brilliant and warming hues, casting comfort about them in all of their glorious manifestations.
I grant you:
A very fine job well done.
Warren C. E. Austin

The elloquence of your words touched me and I thank you for them. I was asked by a number of people to pen something longer than the "Paul and Simon" stories - "The Visitor" is the result.
I believe, if my memory serves me correctly (and if it doesn't, forgive me), that it was the English writer Adelaide Ann Procter who wrote:
"Seated one day at the organ,
I was weary and ill at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys.
But I struck one chord of music,
Like the sound of a great Amen."
I was seated at my keyboard, ill at ease at what I was about to attempt, for despite your kindness I do not possess a "magnificent mind" yet my fingers, too, "wandered idly". It wasn't an easy task and I didn't really have a direction, as such. I knew where I wanted to go, but not how to get there. However, I "struck that one chord" - finished my journey and so time will tell if I succeeded.
Your words mean a lot.
