It’s been so long I can’t remember which of your books I read first. No wait, Sharpe’s Eagle. For me, whenever I think of that book it doesn’t surprise me that you’ve remained my favourite author for over 10 years now. My dad was the one to put me onto your books, knowing how much I loved reading and writing. To a 10 year old boy you can see how Sharpe caught my imagination; though some might consider the books too graphic to a boy of that age. You books are part of my life. I dabble between historical fiction and magical fantasy so it’s hard to know which one I want to write. All of this is fan babble I know but I just want to let you know the impact you’ve had on my ambitions in life. The Arthur Chronicles are my favourites, Derfel’s a dude. Hope this has made your day, Gavin Patmore, England.
