Dear Bernard Cornwell, I thought you would be interested to know that for several years I have been reading your books, in particular the Sharpe series which has led to my wife and other family members having a laugh and giggle at my expense as it has has made me into a bit of a Sharpe anorak. To the point of me having really vivid dreams of me being Sharpe (I’m a Geordie and in my dreams I think he sounds good with a Geordie accent). Once I had read the series the dreams calmed down. I have had similar happenings reading other authors books about the romans in Britain. But then I found the Uhtred series and of course him being from Northumbria we clicked and the active dreams begin. Of course it is all an exciting read and gives us all here funny stories to tell. I wanted to thank you for your books and cannot wait for Uhtred to return and am now eagerly awaiting the new Sharpe book. Thanks again and all the best, regards, Marsh Easom.
