And I'm so grateful for being the third writer of your choice! I hope you love my books and I would like very much to receive your feedback about them. If you allow me one suggestion, before Pêro da Covilhã (I-V - are my saga of this portuguese spy), read O Navegador da Passagem, about Bartolomeu Dias, which can provide you with a very detailed context of the time and life of King João II. <br />Thank you ever so much!<br />Your grateful author<br />Deana BarroqueiroDEANA BARROQUEIROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333272517132581757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608029603869554523.post-53787502583415227232013-01-10T20:15:34.434+00:002013-01-10T20:15:34.434+00:00Serena,

João Paulo Oliveira e Costa has another book, Fio do Tempo, which tells the memories of one survivor of the conquest of Ceuta. And the author Deana Barroqueiro has books set in the time of the Discoveries, if I'm not mistaken.WhiteLady3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15318104813466156749noreply@blogger.com
