Dear Bernard, With the recent publications of your Viking novels and the upcoming book on Agincourt it’s been quite awhile since you have written a musket novel. I was wondering if after that the next book could be a musket novel and due to your own liking of Mark Urban’s Fusiliers I was wondered if it had tempted you to write anymore about the American Revolution from the British perspective? While Redcoat was fun towards the end any Brit who was against the Americans was a evil psychopath while they were suddenly upstanding and true could be a bit jarring. btw would Gilpin have actually fought against his old mates or settled down on a farm????

And on another note in regards to the Viking novels will Uhtred go back up north to give Guthred when he fights off a Scottish invasion (Put down to St-Cuthberts intervention)?? I look forward to the Agincourt novel. Yours sincerely Tony

P.S You have probably already read them but if not I can recommend George Mcdonald Frasers new book Reavers (Which I suppose does lead to the question of whether you have ever considered the Border wars yourself as a topic) and Guy Dempseys new book on Albuera both worth a read.
