Dear Mr. Cornwell:
First, I want to thank you for your wonderful books. Uhtred (my favorite) is such a wonderfully flawed, noble character!
Speaking of wonderfully flawed, noble characters – have you considered writing anything about Boudicca? My daughter and I both deeply admire her. I’ve read historical fiction featuring Boudicca, as well as biographies and other non-fiction books and articles. As is typical of the period, we have only the brief accounts by Tacitus and Cassius Dio as (somewhat) contemporaneous sources.
It would be wonderful to have you write a series of books set during the period of the Roman conquest of Britain, which would include (of necessity, I think) Boudicca’s story. Your dedication to research and historical accuracy in your writing is unparalleled. If you haven’t already considered writing about this time period, I hope you will.
