Mr Cornwell…its been such a long time since I last wrote to you. Can I just say once again how mjuch I love you? Over the past 15 years or so, you have given me so much enjoyment. Im only 23 and discovered Sharpe Via the TV series when I was 10 years old. WHen I was about 13 I read my first novel, and since then Ive been hooked on your books! Each new release has me eagerly rushing to the bookstore to make sure I can get the hardback edition before they sell out. I have all the Sharpe series, Ive already had to replace some books because they have literally fallen apart from too much reading! I was wondering when you would next be in Birmingham for a book signing? I have several Sharpe books, and the Uhtred novels that are just waiting for your signature (My most prised possession is a signed copy of Fortress :D) I just really wanted to thank you again for all the years of joy and pleasure you have given me, and giving me the enthusasm to write myself (I have acollection of fanfiction (non Shape – sorry) under my username alienangie at fanfiction.net that has recieved some possitive feedback So once again…thank you. I cant imagine life without Sharpe or Uthred. They have been my constant companions through many an ordeal – deaths, weddings, fires! Holidays and much much more…so once again thank you! Angie xxxxx
