Bernard, I felt compelled to drop you an email to thank you for the enjoyment the books you have written have given me, I am not and have never been a big reader (I am sorry to say) but do like to read a book while relaxing on holiday or a trip. I have read the whole of the kSharpe series and have waited each time for the new books to arrive in the stores, I recently finished both the Starbuck series and the Grail Quest books which I am happy to say took my attention away from the TV!, I await the next books and I am sure that they will bring me the same pleasure, thank you for your work thus far and for getting me to reach for a book and not a remote control.
