Sir,
I do not write of the books i have read over the years. I picked up your book 1356 on holiday in August 2014. Since then i have read The Pagan Lord. I live in Northumberlandia, and my area command includes Bebbanburg.Both books need to be made into films. When i read of Uthred the character i read throughout this through the voice of Jim Carter. Butler of Downton Abbey.The voice was his throughout the book, his courseness his facial expressions etc. The only part i did not believe was one word that uthred would not say. That was the word bottom or backside, something like that. I read all the sharpe books and never realised it was written by you. The book 1356, i could not fault the content or how the characters delivered their sense of presence and how they all came together, to fight on the field of honour.
keep it up and always ask for how the public react to your books and how you deliver the books that they buy. Research is the key to good and well written books. I have never written a book, but read many.
your books are well written and i will keep reading them.
i do not expect a reply as you are busy writing other books, so enjoy and write well.
Kind Regards
john
