Hey Bernard,

I’ve never written to an author and I’ve never had any tendencies whatsoever toward acting like a “fan.”  But here I am.  I’ve recently retired and, after a way-too-consuming business career, one of my resolutions was to read.  Reading the classic historians led me to historical fiction, and then to you… first to Uhtred and now to Thomas of Hookton where a reference to Vegetius has led me to him.  Sharpe is next.  I can’t tell you much I am enjoying the ride.  I hope you’ve enjoyed the process of creating such excellent work.  Thank you.  I wish you and yours the best.
