Hello Bernard! this is almost surreal to me.. hahaha I’ve been reading your books for almost 5 years now, from Derfel to Uhtred to Sharpe to Thomas and for a stint there, Nick Hook. I wanted you to know that you are very much my favorite author and I’ve started an unofficial fan club in your honor with my friends. I really enjoyed Burning Land, especially now that Aethelflaed is grown up and can start doing things. Oh, and you should know that reading Sharpe’s Trafalgar put me into an obsession with Royal Navy history for almost three months! I have LOVED reading all your books, and all I can say is I hope to god that you continue to write them! Hunter Purvis
