Dear Sir, I want to thank you for the hours of adventure that your Richard Sharpe books have brought me. I saw 15 minutes of Sharpes Justice on BBC America on my way out one night, and from just those few minutes i was hooked. I now have all the books and all the video series. I just received Sharpe's Skirmish and Christmas today. I have read Regency books for many years and the hero always was a veteran of the Peninsular War. I finally have a very clear picture of what that war was. I have always heard of Wellington being a great general but never had read any books on his life. I have now started reading his books guided by your own bibliographies. My son is also an avid reader and is now finishing Sharpe's Rifles. Thanks again Nada Lovett

Hello! I'm a long time fan. Have been waiting (albeit somewhat impatiently) for the Lords of the North to come out. Just wanted to tell you that I honestly believe you are one of the best authors I've ever had the pleasure to read. I'm a college instructor (literature, composition, creative writing, etc) and I read a great deal. I particularly love the Arthur books, Gallows thief, Stonehenge, The Archer, and this latest series. I've read a book or two in the Sharpe series, but have trouble finding them! Anyway, just wanted to bestow my compliments for the work that you do. It is greatly admired and much appreciated.

I'm having a brilliant love affair with Richard Sharpe - well, that is to say, I'm having a fabulous time reading all your books... thank you. Cathy

I so love your books especially the Sharpe ones, I was given Sharpes Fury and Sharps Challenge (dvd) for Xmas and have nearly finished them both. My G G Grandad Neil McAra was a surgeon from 1812 to 1814 in the Peninsular War somewhere I have his Warrant from the King in 1812 and other papers which are handed down through the generations. Another ancestor Robert McAra was killed at Quatre Braes and it was a real suprise to find him in Waterloo p135, I shall have to look for more history on Robert McAra. I also hope to one day find more about Surgeons in future Sharpe books Thank you for writing such great books Bruce McAra

In this age of high speed internet, podcasts, instant news and satelites, I find my greatest pleasure in life is reading a good book. Whenever I need to destress or just to slow down a bit I read a book. I want to thank you for giving me many pleasant evenings reading the Richard Sharpe series, and I look forward to many more in the future. And for Christmas I received the dvd collection, from my hsuband. What a great gift. So now I have Richard and Sean Bean to look forward to. I guess I am the ultimate nerd of the 21st century, I would rather read than surf the net and keep up with the latest techno gadget out on the market. And when I do surf the net I look up my favorite authors and bookmark them to keep up with the next novel due out. I look up places that they write about and plan my dream vacations to such places. Some day I would love to visit Talavera and some day I would love to vist Bath, where Jane Austen lived. But, in the meantime I can visit them on the pages of a good old fashioned novel. Thank you for many pleasant evenings and I look forward to many more. Your fan, Mary Brewer

Many thanks for a great series. I have just watched the Sharpe series on Foxtel. It has me hooked. Have been purchasing the DVD's and am in the process of hunting down the books. Only 12 to go. Great reading and cant wait for future Sharpe releases. Thanks Rob

I agree with many posters that I would like to read of Derfel's passing, but the series as it is has a nice completeness - as well as mystery. Sometimes it may be better to speculate. I'd have to say that Derfel is one of my favorite characters, probably because of his situation, and the many details left unsaid about exactly how he wound up there and what happened to him. Personally, I believe he had the last laugh. In other books, I particularly enjoyed bumping into Rifleman Dodd. C.S. Forester's great book has always been a favorite. For a while I wasn't sure he was the same guy, but sure enough, so he is. Cape Cod could be the setting for any number of great novels in a number of historical settings. Another Revolutionary War novel in and around the Cape would be very nice. Thanks for some great reads. Steve Sease

Please please complete the starbuck chronicles, love sharpe, but like nate even more tks. Peter Dalton

Thanks for your efforts. I have enjoyed all your works that I have read. While it may mean that you sell a few less copies, I have made it a policy to pass them on to the VA hospital in Houston, TX after I am done. They seem to be much appreciated there. Keep it up, you are entertaining a fairly large group of old fogies who remember the smoke and confusion not all that different from what you describe in the "Sharpe" series. Thanks,
Richard Goldy

Barnes and Noble will not have "Lords of the North" until January, 07.I am looking forward to going on another adventure. Thanks again. John Eaton
