Meet the Reverend Alistair Harris, my new character, who can be found
only at The Glen, a community in New South Wales where all of
Russell's characters have come to live, to work, to love and to
inter-relate. You'll find stories there by many of the Libriscrowe
authors as well as some you may not have met yet.
And I've just started a brand new Cort storyline there, too.
And, of course, Sir Robert/Robin Hood is there!
