Three years ago I had never heard of you. Being an archer, somebody told me about “The Archer’s Tale”. I read it, then I read Winter King, then the rest of the Arthurian Triology, then Vagabond, and started the Sharpe Series. I just bought “Sharpe’s Havoc”. I finished “Gallows Thief” about a month ago, and “Heretic” the month before. I am trying to read “Sharpe” in “historical sequence” so that should tell you about where I am at. Obviously, I really enjoy your books. You do it very well. My question is, Are you going to write a book covering Sharpe’s first time under fire at Flanders? I retired from the U.S. Air Force about 9 years ago, and one of my stations was in Belgium about half an hour from Waterloo. I made many excursions there. I am looking forward to that particular book. Best to you sir, and looking forward to reading many more. Dan Williams
Sir, First of all I would like to say that you are trutly a great historical writer, for which I enjoy the way you add historical fact with fiction. I wish I could do that. I hope you continue writing more Sharpe stories. Also I sure would like to see some of the other Sharpe stories put on film, especially on the big screen. In your Sharpe books, the ones where he is in India, you mentioned that he was in the Flanders. What were the British doing in Flanders and in what years was that? And also are you going to write another Sharpe book? and do you think you will write a book about Sharpe being in the Flanders for I hope you don’t. Once again you are a amazing writer. I say this from the bottom of my heart for I have read some historical novels but nothing like this plus those others are never as detailed as yours. Luis Silva
