Mr. C: Just wanted to tell you that after reading all of your Sharpe novels many years ago, I recently rediscovered you via your Saxon tales, and am now enjoying “Lords of the North”. I like your “Witnere” warhorse, as “Tormentor”. Witner is one of many variants of my last name, though I was told Witmer meant “Widow” or “Widowmaker” from southern Germany or Switzerland. I prefer the latter definition. Best wishes for continued success. I’ll looks for some of your other series after I finish this one! – Bill Witmer; Lakewood, Colorado
