Hello Bernard, I have really enjoyed reading and re-reading your Sharpe's books over the years. I have also enjoyed your other books too, including the one written as Susannah Kells (a bet well won, I'd say). Anyway the reason I am writing, and I know you warned not to send ideas for books, but I beg your forgiveness. I am sure you must be sick of writing about Sharpe especially as you have just about covered his entire fighting career. But how about "Sharpe's Son" bringing continuity between te Sharpe's books and the introduction of him in the Starbuck books. Anyway do keep it up and enjoy your time Stateside. Regards Simon Hammond
But I'm not sick of writing about Sharpe - and I hope you're not sick of reading about him.
