Mr. Cornwell: I have only written two authors, Robert Heinlein and Stephan Ambrose. Simply that I have not had more pleasure in reading a series of books than your Sharpe series, since Horatio Hornblower. I plan to visit Spain in the near future (when I finally visit Normandy) and will visit the battle fields of the peninsular war. I am a publisher and an amateur historian. You have brought a new adventure and objective in my life intentions (although somewhat late). Your writing and knowledge is not only impressive. Your are extremely successful in your own noble intentions of promoting “further reading”. Any more Sharpe adventures? I noticed you inserted very successfully further military experiences after your initial novels. How about Borodino? Most shocking and what has motivated me to write, is the pregnancy of Madame Castineau in SHARPE’S REVENGE. Classy. Jere L Calmes
