Thank you for many hours of reading pleasure and trips to other times and places. A couple of idle questions for a rainy day: How do the Sharpe’s books do in France? Is the delay in the Starbuck books due in part to a glut of Civil War novels or to difficulties in having the hero on the “wrong” side in this politically correct world? What is the tiniest nit someone has picked in one of your books? Just curious! M. Walsh
