Dear Bernard After reading the recent article of yours in the Newspaper on your adoption and the shocking treatment received (And had me wondering How can a kind Christian justify that) have you ever thought of writing an autobiography on your life???? 2)Also will you be touring in Chester for the next book release in October??? 3) As a fan of Flashman have you ever met George Mcdonald Fraser (When’s he going to write about Flashy in the US Civil war!) 4) After reading about the battle of the windmill in Canada in the 1830’s with plans for the Alamo of the north and how many old Napoleonic war and war of 1812 veterans were involved have you ever thought of getting old man Sharpe there for one last day in the sun??? BTW I can recommend Tammerlane Sword of Islam by Justin Marozzi. He was the second greatest conquerer after Ghenghis Khan but he is largely forgotten or ignored so this is worth a read and its always a huge what if he had gone west and met the english war bow rather than east.
