Sir:
I discovered your writing last year while I was unemployed (I found a copy of Lords of the North at my local library for $1) and I spent most of my free time when not looking for work reading your books.  They helped get me through a very tough period and for that I am most grateful to you.  I have read all of your series’ except for the Sharpe books which I will eventually get to.  I have also read read most of your one-offs and enjoyed all of them, especially Redcoat, The Fort and Stonehenge.
The main purpose of this message is to request that you please return to the Starbuck series.  I am sure this has been requested of you many times and that it is unlikely that you will do so 20 years later but if you could at least get Mr. Starbuck to Gettysburg I think that you will make your many fans very happy.  I know of one for sure.
Keep up the good work sir and many thanks for the hours of enjoyment that you have given me.

Having read most of your books, I recognize the personality similarities between Starbuck and Sharpe. However, what I like your writings for best are the details of life and the events. I like your heroes but I gain more from these other insights. I’d like to see your approaches to Starbuck in other battles.
Great books.
