Hi Mr Cornwell. I did post a comment to you quite recently saying how much I love your Sharpe books but one question that I forgot to ask was how long does it actually take for you to research one of your books and how do you get all the details so exact? I used to think that I would like to write a book but I don’t have a very good memory and I think that I would forget what I had already written! Thanks, Nichola Barron.
