firstly I think it’s great that you reply to all the correspondence and all the Sharpe books and the Warlord Chronicles and all the Uhtred books are great. That’s all I’ve read. The guy saying about William Wallace was right that would suit your style pretty well but I have my own reasons – my dad tells me one of my ancestors was a guy called James Douglas[the black Douglas]whose father was William Wallace’s champion but he was Robert the Bruce’s champion and after Robert the Bruce died he took his heart in a silver necklace or locket on the crusades and died valiantly in the process. But that wasn’t all; he was a figure of hatred to the English who told their children stories of the black Douglas to scare them into being good. I was just wondering whether you would consider a novel that features him or know of an existing one by anyone? Your books have really brought history to life for me, keep it up! Thanx, Robert Douglas
