I would just like to say how much I am enjoying your books. I have just finished Azincourt and thought it was excellent. I have an illness which makes it difficult for me to read books as I get migraines easily. I've had this a year and no sign of it going away yet. I have discovered audio books and my local library has a few of your books on audio. I am hoping they get the Arthur books soon as so far they do not stock them. I cannot express the pleasure I get from listening to your books - total escapism from reality and so absorbing. Luckily there are some great readers narrating your books. Please don't stop writing yet more excellent books. You have a great gift and are making a difference to so many people's lives with your books. I wish you all the very best for the future to you and everyone you care about. Best wishes Diana (Age 50)

I read your comment re the name change of Harlequin in the US. The funny thing is, Harlequin came out in Canada as Harlequin, and Harlequin Books is and has always been a Canadian Company

I've not attached a file containing my finished manuscript, nor am I, at this time, asking for you to sign a copy of one of your books that I own. I actually just wanted to drop you a line and let you know I've just finished reading your Grail series, and found it amazing. I've read a number of your books, including Stonehenge, the Excalibur Series, as well as Agincourt, (my favorite work of yours thus far.) I have no questions, no requests, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your works. I'm not a man prone to writing 'fan' letters, in fact, this is my first, but I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I'm reading and enjoying. Thank you so much for the tales, the characters, the dialog, the action, the intrigue, and the angst. I've found no one who transports a reader to a battlefield like you do. I admire your work. Just wanted to say, thank you.

I have just read "Sharpe's Eagle -I have tried to read your books in chronological order.In the preface you state that it was the first Sharpe book that you wrote and hesitated to look at it again and find poor writing. I thought that interweaving the battle scenes (often rather protracted and frequent in later books) with the Sir Henry, Gibbons and Perry opposition, made it the most enjoyable of the 7 books I have read.

Hi Bernard, I am writing to say that I have only recently started reading your work (sorry!) after picking up a copy of 'Copperhead' in a second hand bookshop. I have to say that I was immediately hooked and went out and bought the rest of the series and finished them within the week. I have had a longtime interest in the history of the civil war and I thought the descriptions of the battles in your work were incredibly realistic and brought that terrible conflict to life for me. So the inevitable question is do you have any plans for more Starbuck tales? I would love to see Gettysburg brought to life from Starbucks perspective. In the meantime I will continue to enjoy your other books (I think I have a lot of catching up to do!) All the best, Malcolm

FYI, Big fan of your work. I live in Canada. Tried to find eBook version of your latest "The Burning Land" but could not find it since there appears to be no truly Canadian eBook stores. Fictionwise, BooksonBoard, Sony eStore, etc follow the US and do not have your ebook even though it is available in Canada in print. I had to buy it from Waterstone's in the UK for $13.98 [which converts to $26 Canadian which is $8 more than the printed version!] But my library shelves are full and my wife moves my books down to the basement to make more room for hers! So for me print is no more and eBooks are the way forward. You may want to provide a Waterstone's link on your site for your Canadian's readers looking for the eBook of your latest. Thanks for all of your wonderful work. Kevin

I read a lot. I have all of yours except your last one. Gallows Thief was the best read I have ever had but I need more of Thomas of Hookton.

Dear Bernard, I practice as a GP on the North East Coast of England.Over the years the very elderly have referred to their hip as "my lisk" This always sounded Viking to me. It appears that "lyske " is Norwegian for groin . I was telling an old lady that her husband calls his arthritic hip his Lyske because he is almost certainly of Viking origin.She looked utterly unimpressed and said "that explains his bloody temper" . Perhaps the heirs of Ragnar are alive and well in East Cleveland . Thought you and your readers may find this as interesting as I do .Thanks for years of reading pleasure. Dr. Neil Brownlee
