Over the past few months I’ve been watching the Sharpe TV shows (I order them through Netflix), and have enjoyed them very much. Just wondering, as an avid reader, are the Sharpe books 1-21, available in a single large volume instead of having to make room for 21 books on my shelf? When I’ve completed the Sharpe series I’ll have to look into some of your other works! It seems you are a prolific writer, but do take time to rest and spend time with your wife, too.

When you have finished writing your last Sharpe book (hopefully not for many years), what would be the possibility of one volume with all the stories? Also have you any plans to go over the series of books and edit them as some details don’t follow through, i.e. in earlier stories you had Sharpe as a sergeant in Folkstone (where as a young recruit I learnt to be an infantryman on the same fields Sharpe would have used), but in later books he came back from India having gone from private to officer.
