Why are all of your new books written in first person? First person does not allow characters other than the narrator to be developed and take on a personality, which denies the reader a better understanding of that characters motivations. The reader is left with only the narrator to sympathize with and the other characters meerly become a flavorless part of the scenery. I have enjoyed your Sharpe and Grail Quest series and would like to read more, but when I pick up your newer works I am discouraged to find them written in first person. Nick Bement
