Hello, having got hooked on Sharpe from the very start I never imagined you would surpass these stories, but the Arthur books blew me away. Not Arthur but Derfel,so I wanted to know if Derfel will ever be back? thanks for the pleasure,kindest regards Karl

Dear Bernard, Having just finished the Arthur trilogy for what must have been the third or fourth time, I would like to add my thanks to those of countless others for the original and riveting Arthurian Saga you have created. Upon finishing Excalibur once more I was reminded of a question that I have always yearned to hear answered: What happens to Derfel in the wake of that final battle at Camlann? Not just Derfel but Ceinwyn, Sansum, Nimue and indeed the last British kingdoms. The story of his journey from that bloody beach to the cold, lonely cell in Dinnewrac has always taunted me by its absence and i was wondering if you will ever pen such an epilogue? Not wishing to weary your ears with the praise that you have heard countless times over, I wish to extend my very deep and personal thanks for the enjoyment and escape you have offered me across your many different series. Many Thanks, Jim
