Medieval 03 - Enchanted

a
castle).
    The Maxwells were contrarians to a man.
    And nothing much has changed in nine centuries.
    Evan led me away from lost battles to the
museum’s archives. There he pointed to several huge,
leather-bound volumes. The books were Maxwell family genealogies
compiled in the nineteenth century. Intrigued, I began leafing
through them.
    The longer I looked, the more silent I became. Each
page I turned took me farther back in time; and on those yellowed
pages I saw again and again a name from my own American childhood:
Charters.
    From the first moment I had seen Evan in California
in 1963, I felt that I knew him in some impossible way. He had felt
the same. Now we understood why.
    Maxwells and Charters have been marrying one
another for nine hundred years.
    When I looked up from the ancient genealogies into
the green eyes of my very modern warrior, I knew that I would write
medieval romances.
    And I have.
    —Ann Maxwell (a.k.a. Elizabeth
Lowell)
