I am an author myself, with several books in print.  I’ve read all your “Sharpe” series and I’m starting on the remainder of your output.  I have to say, I am impressed.  The quality has simply stayed at maximum.  (REDCOAT was a little shaky.  I supect that you produced it early in your career.  My first books have the same flavor.) Keep up the good work!  Every fan feels the same way: When is the next one coming out?  Ultimately, I will pump the local library dry of every Cornwell book. Once again, let me express my admiration for an author who never fails to satisfy.

Thank you.
