Quite some time ago, I had the good fortune to stumble upon one of your Sharpe books and “went on stumbling” several times thereafter before I began to seek them out. I very much enjoy and appreciate your scholarship and craftsmanship in using the language to recreate historical eras so engrossingly.
Happily, my wife, Linda, also has become your fan since falling in love with Uhtred, so she gets 2d dibs on your books.
Thanks for the pleasure of meeting and following your unique characters.
Sincerely,
a fellow war baby, ANS USMA ’62
