Author Note

      In every book I try to include a little bit of history that might be an insight into a world long gone but still beloved by so many. The panorama visit by Jake, Rose and Lucy is a description of a real place and event during the time frame of this story. Panoramas were a forerunner of the movies we love to watch today. The size of the building, the care with which the scenes were painted and presented, were a testament to human creative ingenuity.

      Everyone flocked to the Leicester Square Rotunda to see the latest panorama offered by the owner Robert Barker for nearly seventy years. The painted views provided a window on other parts of the world, and were not only painted with painstaking accuracy, but decorated with artefacts to add to their realism. People viewing these vistas often became nauseous because of the realism and unaccustomed scope. Barker’s Rotunda still exists in London today, tucked in between buildings in Leicester Square—and, fittingly enough, the only way it can be seen is from above.

      I do hope you like Rose and Jake’s journey to happiness, and enjoy reading the series as much as we authors have enjoyed writing it for you.
