Mr. Cornwell, I have read a large number of your books – including the entire Sharpe series – and loved every one! Your research and story telling make history come alive and I have a difficult time putting your books down. I have always wondered – being the lover of history that you are – if you had ever considered writing either a single book or perhaps a short series of books that take place during the time of Oliver Cromwell and Charles I? There seems to be little written about this time period that “ordinary”, non-historians would be able to get into. If I find anything about this important time, most of it is very dry. Just a thought. In the meantime, please keep up the great work!
