Just wanted to let you know that I am a big fan of the Grail Quest, Arthur series and the sailing adventures. Oddly, I have not yet read any Sharpe books, but rather like the older historical works. In fact the Last Kingdom was terrific and I look forward to reading the Pale Horseman. Having grown up in Michigan, I raced yachts along with my brother many times, so the sailing adventures appeal to him as well. We raced in the Chicago to Mackinac race this summer (a 3 day storm-filled adventure), and I had brought along my Stormchild book to read when I was off-shift. After telling the guys about your book during the course of the race, all 19 guys in the crew are now interested in reading your books. I just finished reading a non-fiction book on the battle of Agincourt. a fantastic battle. I imagined the soldiers from one of your Grail novels screaming “St. George” as he swung his sword. Being of Irish heritage, I was wondering if you could recommend any fiction or non-fiction accounts of any medieval Ireland battles. Unfortunately since you have not yet tackled that topic, I figure you may be able to direct me to something that you enjoyed reading. My guess is that you do a tremendous amount of reading yourself to do your research, so hopefully you may have come accross a good one or two you could recommend. If you ever decide to write anything about medieval Ireland I am sure people will be lined up to buy the books. And I would be the first in line. Keep up the fantastic work. you provide a fantastic escape into another world for your readers. and for that I am very grateful. Bob Burke
