dear Mr. Cornwell I first noticed your work when “Sharpe’s Tiger” came out, since I have a soft spot for tigers I deciede to buy it. and “Redcoat” too. “Sharpe’s Tiger” wasn’t what I expected but I really liked it. Now I think I own every Sharpe book in the series. “Redcoat” is one of my favorites. I don’t find a lot of people my age reading your books (myself being 23) but I enjoy them, almost to the point of getting to work late or not getting any sleep because I can’t put them down. I am looking forward to reading “Heretic” now that school is done. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us. Stephanie Burgess
