Dear Mr Cornwell, I’ve read somewhere in these pages that you are writing another Sharpe novel but that it won’t be out until next year…I don’t think I can stand the suspense!! I am having withdrawal symptoms and the rest of my Sharpe collection is buried somewhere in an MFO (military freight organisation) box, as I have just left the Army. WHAT DO I DO?! Please, please include Sweet William, he is my favourite character in the series (apart from Sharpe and Harper, of course!). And what did Captain von Lossow get up to after disappearing after Sharpe’s Gold? Sorry to keep going on, hope to see you this side of the pond one day! Keri (Yes, she of 5/60th fame!)
