Dear Bernard, greetings.

I hope this message finds you well.

Firstly I would like to thank you for sending me an autograph. I never believed I had an autograph from someone I admire immensely. I put it on a board next to the your books.

Having said that, I would like to ask you if it ever occurred to you to write a story set in one of the Great World Wars?

I wish you peace and good health. As our great friend Uhtred would say, destiny is all.

Smith Gomes
