Hello Bernard, I just wanted to say how I am thoroughly enjoying your books. I started a few months ago on the Arthur trilogy (fantastic series, although it rendered the recent BBC series, Merlin, totally unwatchable!). I’ve now gone through the four Saxon books out thus far, and am steadily going through the Sharpe series (which has swiftly become one of my favorite reads). I also wanted you to know that I am passing along all your books I read to my father, who suffers from manic depression and has been on a downer for a long time now. I can honestly say that reading your books has started to perk him up and given us great basis for conversation. For that, I offer you my heartfelt thanks. I wish you all the best health for now, and in the future. And, needless to say, I will continue on my endeavor to read all of your books- after all, I am a student, I have the free time!* *(I think I’ve taken the phrase ‘reading for a degree’ a bit out of context here…) Regards, Tom
