I’ve been a fan of yours for quite some time, though it’s only now that my own book is published that I realize how much authors appreciate letters from their readers. I’ve decided to start sending thank you notes to authors I enjoy, and I’m very pleased to start with you. I was introduced to your books through the Arthur series, which I loved, but each new series has gotten even better. I’m in the middle of the Saxon series right now, though I think my favorites so far have been the grail quest books; the Hundred Years War is one of my favorite periods of history, and you captured it fantastically. I was extremely pleased to see the Agincourt announcement on your website. It seems strange that it took me so long to finally start reading the Sharpe books, especially since I’ve watched and enjoyed many of the movies, but last week I took the plunge, starting with Sharpe’s Tiger. I loved it. I tend to read four or five books at once, in many different genres (my own books are horror/thrillers), so it will take me a while to get through the entire series, but that just means I get to enjoy them for that much longer. Thank you very much for your books, and for the hard work you obviously put into them. You’re one of my favorite authors.
