Growing up I was never one for reading and writing in fact anything to do with school just didn’t interest me at all . As I got older I started to realize that my lack of reading skills was starting to be a little embarrassing. Books were a no go area. I thought all them words, all them pages, I’d never read that . It may be about ten years ago now my wife and I were in the airport going on holiday and my wife bought a book from a book shop (I don’t recall it’s name probably some sloppy love story) and it got me thinking may be I should get one . So I looked at the best sellers shelves and your book Azincourt was staring me in the face . I bought it and could not put it down . Since then I’ve read all your books to date and still get the same feeling when I read them, I can’t put them down . Now I’m a much better reader and my spelling is not so bad  (I hope) and I’m a lot more confident around people when it comes to reading . So I’d just like to thank you for all your fantastic stories and getting me into reading . You opened up a whole new world for me. I can’t wait to read lots more  of your future books .
