Mr. Cornwell,

I am currently reading my way through your Richard Sharpe novels chronologically and I am reading Sharpe’s Regiment. Sharpe just saw Jane Gibbons. I remember in earlier novels, Sharpe mentioning her and had a locket of her and had met her sometime. Maybe I have forgotten, but in which book had he met her in? Anyway, I am really enjoying your novels.

I ran across a video of an interview you had in 2012, and you mentioned that you still were planning to write more Sharpe novels. Are you still going to write more? I hope so. Too bad you can’t take suggestions for new stories because if you could I would have suggested the idea of a short story telling about when Sharpe joined the army.

Thank you once again for your books.

Burt Barnard
