Bernard, I want to sincerely thank you for your books. I’m a used bookstore bum that got lucky enough to have Sharpe’s Tiger recommended to me a few years ago, and it has been a non stop journey ever since. Your books have opened me up to reading history I had overlooked, and really turned me toward reading historical fiction, other than the books of the old west (which I’d like to see you take a shot at, would be great). Do you have any plans to come to Canada any time soon? (Toronto would be great, you can sleep on my couch if you need a place to stay, hah!) Do you ever give seminars on writing historical fiction? Thanks again! Matt W. Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
