Mr Cornwell I know you have been asked this question quite a lot and I did look to see if anyone else did ask but I didn’t find the answer I was looking for. I’m wondering if your next Sharpe book is going to be in between Prey and Trafalgar as there is a good year in between. Or perhaps after Trafalgar where he is training as a rifleman in England? My curiosity does get the better of me sometimes. Anyway I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for introducing me to historical fiction. I first picked up one of your books over ten years ago when I was 12 and haven’t looked back. Your an asset to world literature and I would very much like to me you sometime. Regards Sam
