Your writing is riveting , exciting , thought inspiring , bringing a soldier’s life into the comfort of the living room .I don’t get muddy, lose a limb or crap my pants with fear but I see it , hear it & can almost smell the gunpowder exploding . I did get a ring around my arse once , taking a Sharpe book to read on the throne , I think it was the battle of  Badajoz , was in there for 3 hrs running thru the build up , start of the battle and the final bloody assault Brilliant God I needed a cuppa after all that exertion .

Thank you for making my many hospital stays bearable, for bringing out that young boy in this 62 year old man . Waited 2yrs before I finally got the complete Set of Sharpe some new some charity shop . Just a note of observation  your books hardly ever come into charity shops & fly off the shelves when they do . In my hospital stays I read them on the Kindle ,Have read them at least 3 times each & now watching the New BBC serise “The Last Kingdom ” even tho I have read part of this series & its inspired me to pick them up again so have put 3 more onto the Kindle . So a big thank you
