Mr Cornwell I think your novels are great and really I can’t wait until the next is published. Over the past few years you developed a pattern of producing a novel every six months – a Sharpe around March followed by a complete contrast in October. I read today that there will probably not be another Sharpe until 2006/07 and the next in the Last Kingdom series will not come out until October 2005. Does this mean that you will have nothing published between now and October? John Pilkington
