John Jakes is the one author that I truly, truly enjoy reading. He is what really got me into reading when I purchased his “Kent Family Chronicles” for my 18th birthday almost 44 years ago. I of course still have the whole set, and many of his other books. He was a great man who was a big inspiration to me.
