Dear Mr. Cornwell, I am a long-time fan of your work (esp. the Sharpe series-alas , I have no valuable 1st editions as I am too frugal-alright cheap to buy hardcovers). I was gratified to see a new ‘Sharpe’ is on the horizon. I just finished “Gallows Thief”. It was a great read and Rider Sandman looks like a character with great potential. How was it received and do you plan on continuing Sandman’s adventures? Thanks from a historical junkie Michael Ruskey
