I just wanted to say I really enjoy your books and the TV adaptations of them. I’ve got all of the series despite not reading my first one until about 1997 and recently got the DVD boxset – if you had any hand in picking Sean Bean for the lead you did well. I also enjoyed the Grail Trilogy, although still hold Sharpe as the best. I rather cheekily have a request though. Would it be possible to have my name included as one of the riflemen? I don’t mind if he is mentioned in one line and then shot but it would be cool and judging by the amount of Irish soldiers mentioned so far I thought a ‘Doyle’ could fit in quite easily. Thanks very much and please keep writing. Peter Doyle
