Hello Bernard,

My name is Brent Simons. I am writing to you from the no longer snowy state a bit north of you in Vermont. I just wanted to tell you how truly fond I am of your work. The Sharpe’s and Starbuck Chronicles are some of my favorites. The feeling is shared by members of my family as well. My younger brother (who now lives in Oslo, Norway) and I were just chatting about your latest book in the Sharpe’s Series. I can’t wait to read it!

I truly hope you are taking care of yourself during these difficult times. If you are ever traveling this way please look me up and stop in for a cup of tea or something stronger! :)

Kindest regards,

Brent Simons, Vergennes, VT
