Mr Cornwell: Thank you for all your books, many of which I have read and plan on reading them all. Especially, the Sharpe novels. I first met Sharpe in the TV series with Sean Bean which I thought was well done, but the books are so much better, each character being fleshed out more! Recently, I found a store where I live that sells soft cover books at reasonable prices and to my surprise have thus far found 4 or5 of the Sharpe series. Of course, they are not in chronological order, but each stands alone as a darn good yarn. The one I just finished moments ago was Sharpe’s Trafalgar! I was so happy that Ensign Sharpe found a great love with Lady Grace and that she became pregnant with his child. I feel that I know what sex the child will be and it’s name….which I won’t say here. I cannot help but wonder though…is this a lasting love? Will we read more of Richard and Lady Grace? I certainly hope so for it gives Sharpe a higher degree of reality. After all, he certainly deserves love and happiness! Thank you again. To be able to put such stories to print is like magic!! Don W. Diminie, Ue Ontario, Canada
