hi, have just finished Lords of the North and I have to say it’s the best book I’ve ever read. I only picked it up as I was in a hurry and needed something to read at work. I’m so glad I did. I’m from Northumberland and it was nice to know the places I was reading about. I read your Arthur books and thought I couldn’t read a better book, but you’ve surpassed yourself. I enjoyed your Sharpe books also, they past many an hour whilst I was in the army serving abroad. Anyway just wanted to congratulate you on a superb book. I would dearly like to get it signed – do you have any plans to visit the north east in the future? Anyway I better go before I start to sound like a deranged fan. good health .Liam
