I was first introduced to your (I believe) favorite character through the history television series “Sharpe’s Rifles”. My last name will suggest why. I was impressed with how well done the movies were and, in most cases remained close to the book. The best villian I have ever encountered in the many books I have read was the bald headed sergeant with the biblical name. He was an “excellent bad guy”. His name was ironic. Since those films I have read all of your Sharpe series, Stonehenge, the Warlord Chronicles and have just finished your second book “The Pale Horseman”. I have not read the Starbuck Chronicles as I am from Canada and have received an “overdose” of Americian Civil War movies through television and movie houses. It is too bad you didn’t move to Canada instead of the US. It would have been great to see your talent applied to Canadian History as our senses and appreciation of early Canadian history has been dulled by early school curriculum material. Anyway, enough; Will any more of your books be turned into movies? (I hope by BBC productions. Americian movie makers often change the story and characters to suit their fancy in wild variance from the orginal tale). Second: when can we expect a sequel to the Pale Horseman?
