Dear Mr. Cornwell, I wrote you awhile ago to ask when you might pick up the Starbuck pen so that his very loyal fans (me included) might follow him to the next battle. At the time I asked if you were planning on having him march to Gettysburg in time for the 150th anniversary. Sadly, your post was in the negative. I apologize for being so selfish but I speak for many, many readers who would dearly love you to reconsider-no pressure! Of course, before Starbuck gets to Gettysburg, it would be great if you could have him march to Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. I love your writing style and I have all your books however, being the Civil War collector that I am, Starbuck stands out. Thank you again and Happy Holidays.
