HI BERNARD

I’VE BEEN A FAN FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE READ AND VERY MUCH ENJOYED ALL YOUR BOOKS–HAVE READ MOST OF THEM ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS WITHOUT ANY LOSS OF ENJOYMENT AND PLEASURE.

I PARTICULARLY ENJOY YOUR BATTLE SCENE WRITINGS WHICH I FIND VERY EVOCATIVE AND REALISTIC.AS PART OF YOUR RESEARCH HAVE YOU EVER TRIED FIRING OR USING THE WEAPONRY YOUR VARIOUS CHARACTERS WOULD HAVE USED IN THEIR RELEVANT CONFLICTS?. IF SO, I PRESUME YOU LEFT A SEVEN BARRELLED NAVAL GUN TO BE USED SOLELY BY A RATHER LARGE IRISHMAN WHO BECAME VERY PROFICIENT IN IT’S USE.

THANKS FOR ALL THE READING PLEASURE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO TRAVELLING BACK TO ELIZABETHAN ENGLAND WITH YOU LATER IN THE YEAR.

BEST WISHES

KEITH
