Hi Bernard, Your may recall in a distant memory several years ago receiving a letter from a hotel in Sorrento in which I thanked you for making my holiday extra enjoyable having bought my first Sharpe paperback at the airport. I then had the pleasure of meeting you on your tour for the launch of Sharpe’s Trafalgar at Wellingborough library in 2000 and look forward to again at some future date. But I’m put pen to paper (or digit to keyboard) to thank you for coming on another great holiday with me where I had saved Lords of the North and Sharpe’s Fury to accompany me. I thought they were both great and I particularly enjoyed Fury as I went to the Costa Del Sol and felt I was only “around the corner” from the battles not being very far from the Cadiz region. We travelled into the mountains and crossed named rivers from the book, went to Gibraltar which was referred to on several occasions and it felt like I was there with Sharpe, but then I am in all of your stories. Thank you again for some wonderful writing, excellent stories and for making holidays extra special. I look forward to the next holiday (sorry, book) but will I have to wait until next September, according to Amazon, for your next publication? I hope its not that long but it will be worth the wait. King regards David Lightfoot
