Hi, my brother & I are both big fans of your work and have been working our way through your back catalogue of books over the last few years & am currently halfway through your Sharpe series. Not so long back I read the late Michael Crighton’s Pirate Latitudes and as much as I enjoyed it (and I don’t intend to be disrespectful to him) I couldn’t help but hope you might write a book or series based upon privateering & piratery in the future as I much prefer your writing style. The thought has come back to me recently having recently read Sharpe’s Trafalgar and the Pucelle’s pursuit of the revenant as well as in Sharpe’s Eagle with Simmerson’s threat of Sharpe’s being busted down to Lieutenant in the West Indies. I best stop before I find myself suggesting an amateurish plot line to you. You’re no doubt bombarded with book requests & suggestions but like the rest I’ve carried on anyway, but I would be grateful if you would consider publishing a book(s) of this type & would no doubt be first in line to buy a copies for me & my brother. Thank you Ian
