Dear Sir, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your novels, particularly the ‘Sharpe’,’Grail Quest’ and ‘Saxon’ series, as well as ‘Gallows Thief’. I first came across them in 1996 on a visit to the UK from Australia when I saw one of the Sharpe telemovies. I was hooked within five minutes and was overjoyed when I returned to Australia and found that ‘Sharpe’ consisted of more than one book (So many books… so little time!). I have worked my way through the majority of ‘Sharpe’ and the other series I previously mentioned, and on many occasions have reread them as well. I have been eagerly awaiting the series to be shown on Australian television, but until recently had to surfice with watching all the DVD’s whilst in Edinburgh last year – squeezing it in between attending the Edinburgh Tatoo and sightseeing whilst on my honeymoon! (I have a very understanding wife). Whilst I understand as a writer you have to be in the right frame of mind to carry the story in the appropriate direction, please do not give up on Thomas of Hookton as I feel there is much more life left in him yet (At least one more book?? Please!!) Regards Your ever faithful reader… Michael Woodgate
