I have read the Lazen family adventures and enjoyed both immensely.  However, I was for ages put off reading them by their covers: what red-blooded lover of Sharpe and Thomas of Hookton would go for a book with girls on the cover?!  Why have your publishers gone for such covers: main picture a girl, smaller picture potential violence?  Surely your normal readership would prefer the pictures (and the content) vice versa.
My problem with Sharpe is I can’t remember which I’ve read!  The list I started has got lost!

Keep up the good work. I’ll get ‘1356’ for Christmas.
