What do you mean? Were you expecting it to be based on real life rather than fiction? #NotAloneTalk

Yeah I thought Hav was a real place! In retrospect there was rather too much history (and too many connections to real history) for one small and obscure place, so the answer to "how have I never heard of this place?" was deceptively simple 🤔 #NotAloneTalk

What an interesting idea for a book. #NotAloneTalk.

Oh yeah it's great. I need to get the sequel, The Myrmidons Of Hav 😃 #NotAloneTalk

The first time I read it I had no idea, I was like "how have I never heard of this place or any of this history?" 😳 #NotAloneTalk

Ohh so Hav is a place rather than a person as I was thinking! #NotAloneTalk
