I am currently reading Copperhead. It’s a great read. I noticed that one of the characters, Col Lassan, sure does have some familiar sounding parents. I think that is a nice tie in that only your fans and not a casual reader would pickup on. Thank you for giving us that. At one point it lists some of Col Lassan’s wounds. Have you ever thought of continuing the Sharpe tale with that of his son? I truly wish that you would. H. Shane Scroggins

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I finished reading the Starbuck series and while I was reading I had to laugh out loud when I found that Starbuck had run into Patrick, the son of Lucille and Sharpe–Bravo! I noticed that he had a scar like his father, a personality like Harper, and an eye patch like Fredrickson–did that just evolve or was it on purpose. Are you planning on doing any books that involve the wars he participated in?

Also just finished reading the Lords of the North. Wonderful–love following Uthred’s adventures. Now I only have The Grail Quest series left to read. I have to wait a week for them to come in from the bookstore. So now I’m worried about what will happen when I finish those. Final question–what book are you currently working on–I checked What’s Coming but nothing is listed. Sorry to want you to write nonstop like so many of your other fans–but I really can’t get enough. Thanks for keeping us entertained. Janice Lewis
