Dear Mr. Cornwell,

You are keeping me up late at night on my Kindle!  But what marvelous adventures you tell and what a great way to learn about history.  I’ve read every book in your Saxon, Arthur, Grail, and Sharpe series and now I’m following Nate Starbuck through Virginia.

In all of your books, Sweet William is the one character who I feel was tragically “swept under the carpet”.  William is a great soldier, a loyal friend, a man of good education and artistic interests, but a disfigured man who finally seeks love after years of hardship but gets “undercut” by Richard in Sharpe’s Revenge.  Last we hear of William is that he is sent to a British outpost in Canada.  Will we ever hear of Sweat William again?  Will he ever find happiness?  Maybe he should head to New Orleans and find Simone Joubert.
