Auto Draft

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

 

I’m hoping to finish the Sharpe series soon, because I find myself sleep-deprived, hungry and unable to focus at work.

 

Only Patrick O’Brien and oh – and GM Fraser – have been able to goad me to excess in quite this way, which tells me that a) I have a hopeless case of attraction for bad men b) I am a 19th c. throwback c) I like my history laced with good-storytelling d)all the above.

 

In any case, please, no more books and bad men.  Let me catch my breath.
