I have read several books in your “Sharpe” series and just finished “The Last Kingdom” which I enjoyed very much. After reading your disclaimer on this web-site I’m disappointed that you are not going to provide me an agent and publisher. I suppose I can also forget about a birthday present. Naturally, I am looking for all three. A number of agents have stated that historical fiction is difficult to sell. Has this been your experience? I have been attempting to find marketing data on recently published historical fiction. Un fortunately historical fiction is not a literary class like mystery, science fiction or romance. Any suggestions of where to even look? I’m looking forward to the sequel to The Last Kingdom. Ward Harris
