Hi, I Just wanted to thank you for writing your books. I have never been a keen reader, I basically read when i had too at school i am now 32 years old and after watching the Tv drama Sharpe.I set out to read the whole series in order then the India series WOW. I have enjoyed the Starbuck chronicles and now just finished Sword song. I am from Northumberland so i cant wait to see our hero get his home back. I remember learning about Bede and the monks at Jarrow and visiting the monastery, if the teachers told us then how they carried the relics and dead body’s around i am sure we would of had a greater interest. I have your next book to start now ‘the Fort’ . Thank you for the books. Regards Steve.
