Dear Mr Cornwell, First of all let met say that your books bring a lot of fun end enjoyment for your Brazilian fans. Actually, this message is a sort of request. The problem is that the publisher of your books here in Brazil is taking long time do publish the next Sharpe book. We are right now stuck on Sharpe´s Rifles and the next book wont be around until the second semester of 2008.Do agree that it is a long time to wait to know what happens to Mr Sharpe. I don’t know if you have any influence on this matter, but I had to complain about it with someone and I thought no one would be better than the author himself. Thank you for your attention and please excuse me for the poor use of the English language. Leandro Bandeira Arantes
