Are you interested in doing an author interview on my blog? There's a link here if you are: http://cathleentownsend.com/about/contact-cathleen-townsend/.<br /><br />And don't worry if it's not your cup of tea. But most of the authors seem to enjoy them. :)Cathleen Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488714093444030351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-14025276793483541712015-10-22T13:42:33.257-07:002015-10-22T13:42:33.257-07:00The thing that got me most about this post was tha...The thing that got me most about this post was that we never knew the names of those two Ruff Puffs. So much mystery - what was their story? Family? Did they know what they were doing, what would happen? Was it heroism or foolish spontanaeity? <br /><br />And then there's a sickening sense of 'out of control' in this too, as one thing after another sets the scene spinning. Brilliant stuff.

Writing's hard - as my illness deepens it becomes even harder - but that you're finding pleasure in reading them makes a tremendous difference to my morale.

The Ruff Puffs were peasants, largely farmers who found themselves caught between a ruthless insurgency that would casually kill them and a Western power that was often clumsy in defending them. They were terrified, but many fought bravely.<br /><br />I wanted to honour them.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230537202427640540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-18630604160861699902015-10-22T13:25:48.468-07:002015-10-22T13:25:48.468-07:00This was a sad one.
