Hi, I'd just like to say that your one of my favorite authors and the Sharpe series keeps the fire of patriotism burning inside me. I don't suppose you could let me know if you're working on a Sharpe title as we speak? It's seems like eternity since the last one. Warmest regards Adrian (Peterborough, UK)
Mr. Cornwell, I came across Sharpe while in Cornwall with the US Navy. It was love at first read! (Of course, Wednesday ITV helped - or confused...) Paging through the archives, it seems that Rolica may be up in the air. OH NO, please, please, please follow through. Sharpe is more than just the battles for me. (Girls need character development, not just sweat and blood.) In Prey, Sharpe and Harper brushed by each other. There are hints that Hagman and Cooper were with him longer (Rifles and Waterloo).... I NEED MORE. What was Sharpe's intro to Green jackets like? How did he get from one battalion to the other? What is it that the characters remember from Rolica that they keep so quiet even amongst themselves? See - there is plenty to write about. I look forward to the next instalments. Now that I have found out Patrick Lassan continues on, I'll have to start in on Starbuck. Last question - any chance Killick (Siege) will show up anywhere? Kristin Rickard
Who knows? I won't be writing another Sharpe for at least six months, and I'll have to wait and see what happens in it, but anything could.
