I started reading your books with the Warlord trilogy, because I greatly enjoyed Mary Stewart’s Merlin trilogy and Amazon.com recommended your books. I’m sure you get many emails on this, but I was won over immediately, with Derfel becoming one of my top three favorite literary characters of all time. I have gone on to read Stonehenge, the first three Grail Quest books(Heretic is my next read), and The Starbuck Chronicles. I have not read any of the Sharpe books, but I’m sure they are in my future. I’ve become somewhat obsessive about the Warlord books, having re-read all three numerous times and am getting antsy, because I loaned them to my brother and it’s been awhile since I read them. I’ve enjoyed all your work, but also really enjoyed the Starbuck books and am here to tell you that you simply must pick them back up! There is still too much left to happen within the story, not even taking into account the Civil War back drop. I’m kidding, of course, having gotten an idea of how busy you are from seeing this site, but I truly hope you pick up the tale again(Inside, I wish there was a way to continue the story of Arthur and Derfel, but I know this would be a tough putt, if not impossible, so I’ll just have to keep re-reading). Truly, this email is a tribute, not a request, to a really enjoyable artist and I’m looking forward to future works. Thanks! Kevin Scott
