I started reading your books when I was 14 (I think). I’m 16 now and am half way through the Sharpe series, have read Redcoat and the Grail quest series and have recently got Sword Song after finishing the previous Saxon books and have just finished Rebel. I was wondering if you have read any Patrick O’Brian and if so what you think of them and what has been your favorite period in history to write about? William
