Sir, I enjoy reading, as well as listening to your Sharpe and Starbuck books, and books on tape, and I understand that they are similar people, as such, I know that you are busy writing the sharpe series, but I do wish you would find some small time to write another Starbuck book. I realize that Sharpe is about an English person and it is easier for you to write about English battles since you yourself are English. Also that since Starbuck is American, it takes more research to write them, but we across the big pond do enjoy your words and the flavor you place into each book. A nice English lad just returned home to England after spending his second summer here with us and has also read some of your books. Do try to write something further on Mr Starbuck and no, I do not have any writing abilities to which my lawyers, that I do not have, can grow fat! as for Mr Lincoln, I am from Chicago where Mr Lincoln was also from. Thank you for the many hours of reading enjoyment, and no, I do not want anything from you but to be able to keep enjoying your books. thanks again, Henry Storino Plainfield, IL USA
