Hello There, It’s horrible, I’m trying to put it out of my mind but there it remains like some blue-mould on a sandwich you’re halfway through…page 161 Sharpe’s Devil: “Sharpe, seeing his very first sea fight,”. Would you forgive me for defacing my copy just so that Sharpe’s Trafalgar doesn’t seem like a dream or an ad-lib! Also, I was wondering if the spelling of my name (pronounced Alan..despite years of childish “Olwyn” taunting) stood out when you signed my copy of Heretic (thank you muchly for that)? I am born and raised in Northern Ireland but it seems the name is Welsh. Any chance of naming a character for me, go on, I’ll be your best friend and promise not to claim any likeness rights! Thank you for taking the time to read this, I have spent years enjoying your work (have read everything except the thrillers and Redcoat and my collection holds 22 first editions of your works) Your grateful fan Allyn Mills
