I have read or actually devoured a good many of your books (the last kingdom, Sharpe, Grail quest, 1356 and Waterloo) you are point of fact my favorite historical fiction writer (I’m afraid the unqualified favorite spot goes to Prof JRR Tolkien) and am one of the crazy Americans that believe the British history prior to the 19th century IS American history. Sorry to hear of your travails this year, I wish you health and fair winds to to get Sharpe & Harper sorted.
