Hi Bernard,

Firstly, Thank you for signing my copy of your new book  in Newcastle, I’ve just finished it and am now totally depressed that I have another year to wait for the next one.

During your chat you mentioned thinking about a “one off” novel about the battle of Towton. Obviously we want to get to the end of Uhtred’s story and our mouths are watering at the thought of another Sharpe, but what a battle Towton was.

Over 50, 000 people were involved, just to put that into perspective that is roughly 2% of the entire population on one battlefield.

I have read several accounts of the battle but would love to read your take, here’s the question… Who’s side would you be on and why?

Thank you again for the hundreds of hours of pure pleasure and I look forward to whatever you put your pen to next.

Mike
