Hi,

You recently answered a question about your favorite TV prog I Claudius, I’ve just finished Goodbye To All That, Robert (von Ranke) Graves WW1 biography.

I found it very moving and amazingly detailed. Just wondered if you had read it and if WW1 was an area of interest for you and how you rate him as a writer?

By the way, what happened  to Steappa I missed it if he died or will he be back in the next book?

Is your next book anything to do with Drake? As a huge fan of you,Patrick O’Brian and Alexander Kent the idea of you starting a naval series is making my mouth water.

How about John Trenchard for Sharpe’s dad?
