Dear Mister Bernard,
it will take to much space and time to write  how much I love and appreciate your work not only from historical learning prospect but from beautifully entertaining point of view.  I read Sharpie’s novels (all of them some more than twice) and All others novels you wrote so far and I LOVE it
I live in USA but I’m born and raise in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and have experience weary brutal war for 3 years.  I’m not trying to write about  my war memories but just to say how close you are when writhing about fears and passions in war.
Please don’t stop writing it is so great to learn about history in this way.  I wish I have way to erase my memory chip in my (crazy) head and read your books  all over again.
God give health to you and all of your family and friends.
Forgive my writing and spelling mistakes (still in English  learning process)
your big Bosnian Fan.
Admir Tosca
All the best.
