Thank you for providing your loyal readers with hours of entertainment.  I have thoroughly enjoyed your books and they have often allowed me a very welcome respite while serving from the desert to the bottom of the sea, and everywhere in between.  I have particularly enjoyed your stand alone novels and I think your handling of Francis McLean’s psychology and character as a Commander was hugely insightful.  Given that, I wonder whether you have ever considered tackling one of Victoria’s small wars and characters such as the oft misrepresented and stereotyped Gough, Napier or Havelock.  Wishing you and yours a very good health and many more prolific years writing.
