Hello Bernard, just writing to comment on the question posed by FM of Norfolk about writing Sharpe in the first person. I think this would be a great idea when the Sharpe series comes to a reluctant end. Especially as you get asked many questions about Dick Sharpe’s and Pat Harper’s previous and post histories. Perhaps this story or hopefully series ( if you’re not too bored of them by now) could take place when the great friends meet after 1830? When they haven’t seen each other for a decade. I’ll leave the locations up to you lol. Dublin would be good though and London. Maybe touching on early Victoriain grumpy old men etc. Anyway I aplogise if I’d try to influence you in any way, but I’m sure your huge army of fans including myself of course, would like this to be written ( no pressure mate lol) It would be a great chance to tie things up although it could be very difficult with all your avid fans out there. Anyway many thanks for all your work that have kept me entertained and long may they continue. Best of health to you and yours, Fondest regards Lee
