Dear Bernie! (No offence) I have read your books from an early age, I think Sharpes rifles was the first book I ever read apart from Rhoald Dahl, and as a consequence have enjoyed everyone more than once. Utterly dissappointed with the recent Arthur film and that is probably to do with the high expectations I have for such an enterprise after reading your incredible Warlord Series. Sorry to ramble, I have a couple of questions, I apologise for any repetitions but am a newcomer to your website. 1) What is the correct pronunciation of Ceinwyn, it's a name which seems mythically wonderful to me. No kids yet though. 2) Lord Rossendale? Being born in this wonderful valley (where just for another twist Sharpes Regiment was filmed, not in Yorkshire) just wondering where the name came from? Cheers for the books. Who would play your Arthur if your books were ever filmed? I would love to see Guinevere played by Nicole Kidman! Ben Fortune
Ceinwyn is pronounced - Kine-win. Rossendale is a name picked from thin air I do believe. And Nicole Kidman sounds like a good choice to me!
