I’ve been reading your books for 20 years, and will keep doing so, but nobody will ever accept a Bostonian as a confederate, you should have made him a New Yorker. Massachusetts was the cradle of abolitionism, bay state troops really were fighting to end slavery. So Yankees don’t want to read about traitors, and southerners don’t want to read about folk from Boston. I know you were trying the “fish out of water’ that worked so well for Sharpe but you picked the wrong fish. I’ve read all the Sharpe and many of your other books, great fun. As soon as I saw the premise of Starbuck I put it back. I noticed they quickly ended up in the $1 bin. I’m from Boston and a student of the civil war. It pains me to say you missed on that series.
