First of all, thank you for writing such wonderfull books. Ever since I read Gallow’s Thief I’ve been reading many of your books. I am especially fond of Uhtred. Can’t wait for the next book in the Saxon series. Anyway… in the mean time I’ll be reading the rest of your books. I am starting to get a bit worried though. I just can’t seem to put them down and therefore I read the books real fast. I was wondering if you could perhaps advice me some other good historical novelists for when I run out of your stories. Do you have other favourite writers you would advice us? Many thanks and best regards, Lotte

Dear Bernard. Firstly thank you for the hours (and hours)of enjoyment you have given me. I started with a Sharpe book and since then I have read everything I can lay my hands on. I havent been able to get Lords of the North or the latest Sharpe book here yet. For some reason there is a long delay between release in the UK and Us to the Australian release. I also cannot get Sharpe videos in the correct regional code to suit Australian equipment. I was very very pleased to see that the last Sharpe book I read was dedicated to GM Frazer. Do you know of any authors that write fiction with a firm historical base like you and GMF? Thanks again Theo, Canberra Australia
