Hi, Sam,

Thanks for posting and for all the nice things you said about me and my work.

TITANIC took a ton of research, mostly reading. But I even had maps of the ship itself, cargo manifests, passenger lists, who lived and who went down with the ship — the whole thing. You’ve got a lot of work ahead of you, including the 1888 career of Jack the Ripper and his 5 best-known victims, the area of Whitefriars, and so much more. VERY rich era. Find books on the Ripper because they’ll also give you details about 1880’s London.

It’s a rich period. I’m almost jealous that you’ll be reading and writing about it, and I won’t! Enjoy!
