I have been a fan of all UK oriented and Sharpe books for many years and still reread Sharpe and Arthur especially on a regular basis.
Some 6 years ago I emailed you to say how much I enjoyed the Arthur books (your favourite also, I believe) and mentioned I was writing a novel for the YA market based on Camelot characters, but with more humorous / detective elements as a theme. I couldn’t get an agent, let alone a publisher in the UK. You told me to persevere, which I did. My first book Leap of Faith was published by an American publisher in May and my second book Trouble with Swords comes out in September with 2 further books in the series coming out next year. My publisher told me that one book is unique, two is a coincidence, three is a series and four is a saga!
My thanks for both your books and for advising me not to give up.
Whatever you wite I look forward to it.
Regards
Richard Hardie
