Firstly, may I say how much I enjoy reading Sharpe, I think it must have been a blessing in disguise when the original actor got injured as Sean Bean IS Sharpe! My question is do you ever get tempted to do minor re-writes to correct continuity problems, the one that comes to mind is I have just read “Devil” for the first time and there is a fairly major reference to Sharpe seeing his first sea battle. I know you wrote “Trafalgar” several years later – do little things like this tempt you to do a minor re-write or are you happy to let each book stand on it’s own? Richard Nettleton
