Dear Sir, some years ago at the Swindon literary festival (must have been 2001 as Sharpes Prey was just out in hardback) you said you hoped one day to write more Starbuck novels, as it says from the same year on your website. As its now 11 years since The Bloody Ground was published is it now time for those of us hoping for another novel in the series to accept it probably won happen? Regards T Dyson

HI. I really do enjoy coming back to read another of your books, whenever I can get hold of one. They are a really great read. I don’t know of another author who can keep me as engrossed as you do. Looking at your bibliography on the “Fantastic” site, I see 2 books listed from the early ’90’s” “The Hidden Hand” & “The Snarl of the Beast”. When I search for them on the “ABE BOOK SEARCH” site, I can’t find them, when I can find most of the others you have written. Can you point me in a direction where I may find them for sale, please? Also, do you plan to finish the American Civil War? I think there were perhaps 1 or 2 more battles after those in “Bloody Ground”. Thank you very much for the entertainment you have been providing for the last 20 years. May you never feel the need to retire. It would be a great loss to the reading public. Best wishes, Ian L.

Bernard – Thank you for your books. I’ve read them all, including the Sharpe series twice. Just finished Fury and The Lords of the North. I enjoy both Sharpe and Uthred. How about another “Grail Quest” book? Also, Is the Starbuck Chronicles finished? I read one of the reader’s comment in which he suggested giving Sharpe a rest, and not writing another one. Please, don’t do that. Sharpe Must march again! Regards, John

Having read every book, apart from The Thrillers because I prefer historical fiction, the Arthur books and the Saxon Stories being favorites. I would like to know if any further Starbuck Chronicles, or Grail Quest books are in the pipeline? Ian G Inglis

Hi, never done this before so please bear with me.. I am an avid reader of all your Sharpe’s novels and have read them all several times. I also enjoyed the Starbuck Chronicles and was wondering whether you are planning on writing anymore books with Nate Starbuck??? Thank you for the stories and thanks for taking the time to read this…R Collis
