Hi Bernard, I just finished Burning Land,and Ii must say how much I enjoyed being back with Uhtred,please keep them coming.I just read Harry Sidebottom Warrior of Rome:King of Kings and in the appendix he pays homage to you and that in chapter one it contains a deliberate echo of the opening of Sharpe’s Fortress, I was wondering if you have read this.I must say I do agree with what he says about your good self and would recomend both his novels if you have not already read them.
