Dear Sir, A couple of years ago (though i don’t suppose you remember as it was a long time ago), I contacted you after I had read ‘Harlequin’a book that I had recieved for my 13th birthday, to tell you how impressed i was. I then expressed how i intended to read the rest of that series. Well now i must confess that i am a big fan of your works and now have read and own the whole sharpe series as well. Every single one. All i can say is that i think your books are truly excellent. I have always loved history and literature but your books have opened up whole new world for me, and as a result i am really interested in both the Medieval and Napoleonic time periods. Your books are truly amazing and stand up to much re-reading. soon i intend to start on the rest of your books. Sorry to spill my guts, but i have to say that you are and excellant writer and have awakened in me a real passion for literature, All the best and keep writing! David
