I have just finished The Pale Horseman, and am, of course looking forward to the next book. I really appreciate your dedication to George MacDonald Fraser, one of my all-time favorites. The Flashman books are coming out more slowly now, I have reread them a few times just to refresh my memory ! Something I am finding necessary with the Sharpe books. I would like to recommend a female author who is often thought of as more of a historical romance author. She is Patricia Veryan, and she writes rousing tales full of swashbuckling action, filled with tremendous historical insights. Thank you again for your wonderful novels, as well as inspiring the Sharpe films….anyone who would be bored by Sean Bean in 19th century uniform is nuts ! Sheila Churchill
