Dear Bernard, I am just writing in to ask on the release of Sharpe’s Fury whether you will be doing any book tours in Chester at all ?? On another note while just finished reading Lords of the North and while it was enjoyable and reading your plans to continue the series it did make me a bit glum that Starbuck will again be left out in the cold. At the moment he seems like a calm lake since all the other series stones since they all seem to skim over him. Surely he deserves one more time in the sun at the very least! Anyway as I said before LotN was a good read and I look foward to Fury. Geraint P.S This is really cheeky but If you do write about Albuera and the famous charge of the Fusilier Brigade please/please could there be a chap called Geraint in the 23rd Welsch fusiliers that Sharpe could meet I would be eternally grateful!
