Love the books, especially Sharpe. Good to know you live here, possibly as a Floridian. So many Brits among us, I hear regional accents all the all. Small note, since your books with Sharpe were written out of chronological progression, I was amused at a passage in Sharpe’s Devil (Pub. 1992) where you wrote: Sharpe, seeing his very first sea fight, was horrified by it. As I have been trying to locate copies or ransack the Daytona library for any edition I could find to fill in the gaps of the series, I had just read Sharpe’s Trafalgar (Pub. 2001) where he was in more than one sea fight. Poor fellow, like most of us, memory suffers with age. By the way, Sean Bean did a credible job with Sharpe, although I thought he played the role with a bit too much sensitivity. The recently viewed Sharpe’s Challenge certainly jumbled together two of your storylines from “Devil” and “Fortress.” Keep it up. You are the only current writer of series that I really like.
