Bernard, I love your style of writing and own every (I think) book that you have written. I even have your old sea thriller books (they were a chore to find). Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to your new one, The Last Kingdom. I wished I could get it now but it won’t be in the states until Jan. I do have a question. I have been reading the books by Susannah Kells, now is that you, or your wife? I initially started reading the Sharpe’s series when I was on duty as a Paramedic, working 24 hr shifts. I can’t work on an ambulance anymore due to blowing my knee out on the job. I have been reading alot during my recovery and started to reread your old books. Keep up the good work! Mickey
