I love the new-look website. Not sure how long it's had the new look, our computer's been playing silly buggers for ages, but still, I like it. I'm glad to see (on looking through the Your Questions/FAQ's archives) that at least four other people want more of Sweet William. If it's not too late, PLEASE put him in the next Sharpe book. Even if Sharpe doesn't get to meet him face-to-face, it would still be great for all us Captain Frederickson fans to see his eye-patched face again. On a similar note, any idea when we can expect the next Sharpe in the shops? It's been awful, a whole year with no new Sharpe. I've been having withdrawal symptoms.. Maybe there's a support group somewhere I could join....! All the best, Keri
I'm sure this question is frequently asked, but I have been unable to find the answer. When might we expect a new entry in the Sharpe series? Thank you. Lea
Dear Mr Cornwell, I have been reading some of the letters on your web site (actually I'm more interested in your answers)and , for the first time in my 61 years I have decided to act like a fan. I have, at sometimes great expense as you pointed out, obtained in hardback every book that you have written. This has been my personal "grail quest" over the last 3 years and I am delighted with all that I have read. If I may be so bold as to make a comment - you get better as you get older but my main reason for this missive is to ask when will your , and his, many fans be able to read a new Sharpe adventure? Of all your characters he is MY favourite but this could have someting to do with the fact that I spent 42 years in the British Army myself having just retired in September 2004, the last 11 years wearing Light Infantry uniform! Perhaps I feel that he and I have someting in common. Apologies for the waffle but sincere thanks for the many hours of reading pleasure that you have given and long may you continue. Kind Regards, David Barnard
