I have to admit openly that I did not think I would enjoy your writing , and this is purely down to the Sharpe tv Series . ( I’m not the biggest Sean Bean fan )& preconceptions were drawn from the tv shows . however I was not aware of any of your other book series , A friend of mine convinced me to start reading the Saxon series & I thoroughly enjoyed them & can’t wait for the next book in the story line to come out , this in turn has led me to the Arthur series which is masterful & evocative , I also enjoyed the grail quest , Though again in truth I felt the character of Thomas Hookton at the end was going a little stale . I still haven’t got over my prejudice to Sharpe , though they always say that a film never does justice to the book.

Have you ever considered stories around the Crusades or Knights templars / Hospitalers / Teutons etc . having said all that I do heartily now recommend the Arthur & Saxon series to a goodly number of friends , & can honestly say that I am won round to your style & prose , ps :- I will one day start the Sharpe series .
