Hello Bernard, having just heard your Desert Island Discs, and just finished reading Sharpe’s Escape I thought I would say how much I enjoyed both. The recent Harlequin trilogy I thought outstanding, better even than the Arthurian novels – not sure how you keep both quantity and quality up ! We had the same Yachtmaster Instructor in Stan and I sailed with him last 3 years ago -he’s still in robust form ! Every good wish for your future success, with kind regards, Cliff Dixon
