Hi Bernard I’ve just finished reading the Starbuck series. I’m a Brit who has been transplanted to Maine and so have quite an interest in my adopted home and found the series of even greater interest as they gave me more information about this land. I know you have been asked before but I hope that Nathaniel will be coming back before too long. I discovered your books when I read the Arthur series and then went on to the Grail quest, the Saxon stories and Stonehenge. Somehow or other I haven’t got to reading the Sharpe books – I think because I first became aware of them through the publicity for the TV series and I don’t like Sean Bean – talk about feminine logic! Many thanks for the many hours of enjoyment that your books have given me. Luckily I still have new ones to read and maybe one day I’ll give Sharpe a try. I’ll just have to think of him as looking like Harrison Ford (in his younger days). Jacqui Morse
