I just finished listening to Agincourt and LOVED it! I have read so many historical novels that take place around that time and which mention Agincourt, that to find something that deals strictly with it, was great. Now I am listening to another….just started it last night…The Burning Land – again about a period that fascinates me, especially after seeing some of the ancient lookout towers built on Irish monasteries. And amazingly enough, I just found out you are the author of the Sharpe books. I watched the entire dvd series, one after the other until I had seen them all. Sean is eye candy so it was not so difficult. Truly, I enjoyed them tremendously. Next I will either read Stonehenge or try to find the audio version if there is one. Thank you so much for many hours of educated, inspiring entertainment. Your heroes and heroines and 3-dimensional and human with frailties as well as heroism. Oh, and I plan to look for Agincourt, the one you most highly recommend at the end of your book. By a woman, forget her name, but Goddess bless Google and/or Amazon, for I will find it!

I had a question while reading Agincourt but forgot it when I wrote earlier today; one of my favorite programs is Battlefield Detectives. I am wondering if the battlefield of Agincourt has ever been excavated? So much has been found in the past on other battlefields which often puts the lie to written history. I did find the Julia Barker book and ordered it. And having just discovered you, it appears I am reading the Saxon stories bassackwards since I am starting with The Burning Land, but not to worry, will go back to the beginning and read them all. And of course will order Death of Kings when I have caught up with the complete saga.

One more question, what is the percentage of women who read and enjoy your books? Vicky Shaw
