Dear Sir,
I have followed your work for over 30 years. Always a Richard Sharpe fan, I grew to read your other series as well. Uhtred takes a bit with the older spellings and pronounciations. However, this becomes easier the second time around. I have Assassin open currently, and Sharpes Honor (to my right) just finished a third time or so. Reading takes away the current stress and relaxes the mind allowing the individual to seek a more objective approach to current challenges. I find answers subconciously or casually while reading that occur to me while my mind takes a brief holiday in fiction. Thank you for your excellent work. We look forward to reading your work for many years to come. Expecting you to write far into your 90s and until you are at least 100.
Sincerely, John K. Bedway.
P.S. be so kind as to “stash” a few unpublished Sharpe Novels to be published after you have departed so that we may all celebrate your work long after you have gone. PPS: I am currently working on my first novel. The creativity and storyline are there. Format needs a bit of polish. Am writing faster….the bills are due. Thanks again for all your literary contributions. Better than many doctors and at least one or two vacations i have taken.
