Dear sir- Firstly I would like to thank you for the many wonderful hours I have spent reading your novels. Secondly I would be grateful if you could answer several questions for me. 1) Is your latest novel written from the Anglo-Saxon or Viking viewpoint? 2) You state that Richard Sharpe is named after the Rugby player Richard Sharp and Ryder Sanderman is a keen cricketer. Are you a fan of English sports or have you become seduced by American sports? Steven Storey
