Dear Mr Cornwell,
It has been a while since I have contacted you. Firstly, thank you for Sharpe’s Command, great to see him back, it was well written and slotted nicely in the series.
I have just finished Young Bloods – 1st in Simon Scarrows’s Wellington/Napoleon quartet. Not sure if you read them, but I am finding them enthralling. I however am finding it a bit like a Sharpe companion (without Sharpe). It is possible (although he does not say It, that we witnessed Sharpe’s mother die in the Gordon riots – at least that is all I was thinking about whilst reading It!
Just read about Boxtel and the gruelling retreat. I knew little about this, have you ever considered going back in time and writing about that in a ‘first Sharpe book’ – just a thought.
Keep up the Stirling work
Kind regards
Dan
