Dear Bernard, You have mentioned that your next book you are writing about the battle of Agincourt I was curious if there were any plans to write about some of the defeats of the archers in the hundred years war like the battles of Patay/Forgimby of that war from the British perspective as well as simply the victories????

On another note could you give any indication of when another Starbuck will ever happen you have said you want to finish off Sharpe but even if a Sharpe book came out once a year that would still be at least 4 or 5 years away. Surely Sharpe’s story is finished and it’s just individual battles that need to be filled in as opposed to Starbucks story that has lots of hanging plot points???

And will a future Uhtred book focus on the actions that happened around North wales and Chester. Which slightly leads on to the next when you are next touring is there any chance you will be in Chester or the North west??? And as a fan of some of your book reviews in the papers that are always clear and concise and a joy to read is there any chance of anymore reviews being published???

And finally have your ever considered writing about the wars of Edward 1st. If Alfred had a vision of England its fair to say he had one of the UK and some have remarked that he is Britain’s greatest military commander do you think that’s true????? Yours sincerely Tony

P.S Mark Urban’s new book Fusiliers on the 23rd and there time in the American Revolution is really worth getting if you do not have it and a great companion to the 95th.
