Hi Bernard,
I was just wondering if you ever are tempted to have characters from one era pop up referenced in another; it would be great if Uhtred on his way campaigning in the south of England stumbled across a reference of a Young Saxon warrior who achieved greatness fighting against his own people for some long forgotten English warlord; and reflect on the irony! It’s been a kind of theme for me imagining all the heroes in your amazing books to be some how related throughout history culminating in Sharpe as the last embodiment of the reincarnation until he of course incarnates as Andy Mcnab who ironically was in the green jackets before joining the SAS the natural incarnation for the chosen men.. Hang on this is getting to be like a Michael Moorcock novel! But seriously is it much of a temptation as a nod and a wink to your many, many fans?
Thanks for indulging me
James
