I am a transplanted Kentuckian living in Lincolnshire and have just finished the Starbuck series; enjoyed then tremendously and have heard you’ve been thinking about him and something is forthcoming; I shall await with eager anticipation. Your treatment of Stonewall Jackson was interesting; I may not have looked into him enough or really grasped him well; some of the biographies seem to treat him as a crackpot with no genius at all; at any rate I found your treatment of him much more human and was thoroughly drawn to his conversation with Starbuck about leadership. So I’ve been looking at Stonewall again this morning and had the thought that the Mexican war is untouched as a backdrop for historical novels; i know its’ too early for Starbuck, but it might be an interesting vein? ….. Anyway; glad to have found your stuff, looking forward to more. Thank you for your diligent and generous imagining. Joe Marx
