Hello Mr Cornwell, My name is Alcides and I’m a big fan of yours and their works, from the books until the arthur saxon stories. I was in his lecture in the city of Rio de Janeiro, here in Brazil. I wonder if you have any interest in talking about the great Captain Sir Sidney Smith, hero in the battle of Acre against Napoleon’s army, and is the captain who saved the Portuguese royal family from the hands of the French army commanded by Junot . I am a student of history and passion for naval history and England, and of course, the history of my country. You would have some interest in writing about “The Lion” Smith Sir? Thank you in advance, Guedes Alcides
