I was wondering if John Welch the American Marine Captain in your most recent novel, is the Father of Sharpe? I know Patrick the Frenchman in the Starbuck Chronicles is Sharpe’s son, or I believe so. I guess this suspicion is based on a feeling and nothing more, however I figured I would ask. I am a devoted fan of Sharpe, Uhtred, and every other character you have written about, and I would like to say thank you for getting me into reading. I have read many books by many authors, and while there are many that I love, I always seem to find my way back to you.
