Dear Bernard, I SO enjoy the Sharpe books. I was wondering why you had such problem with religion especially mine and the I read the Sharpe book you wrote about your life (‘Sharpe’s Story’). I can understand given your upbringing why you find us so repugnant. I just hope you see that we are not all the one dimensional. Anyway, thanks for the other rich characters and your wonderful gift for narrative especially the battle narratives. The Sharpe stories as so rich and I hope you keep coming up with a few more. I also love Sean Bean as Sharpe. Fr. Brian
