As a dedicated reader for 53 of my 57 years I have to say that I am absolutely hooked on your writing. It started with Stonehenge but now I am a devoted fan of Sharpe. I am semi British, having lived the first 25 years here in the States and the next 25 in England before returning 5 years ago to the States. My wife and kids are British, and we made many trips to Stonehenge, having lived in Christchurch for many years. Your writing brings a human warmth to history, which we all love. When I am reading a Sharpe, I am there! I can almost smell the stench of powder in the air. Thank you so much for your fine writing and long may it continue. Leon Vinson
