Dear Mr Cornwell, Thanks as usual for all your books, I especially like Sharpe. As a librarian I have recommended your books to many who like adventure and history. The Sharpe movies circulate pretty briskly too. I would especially like to thank you for this continuing conversation you carry on with your fans. This is uncommon (unique) among authors I am aware of. I can almost always count on some interesting questions and comments from fellow fans and yourself. I have found many interesting books this way. I have a couple of questions myself. I have heard that there are often substantial differences between the British and American editions of books. Is this true of your books? If so what kind of changes are made and do you have control over this? When are you going to make an American tour? I’m sure there are many in the San Francisco Bay area who’d like to meet you and have you sign a book. Thanks again, Lucinda.
