Dear Mr Cornwell
When you are writing, do you ever forget a  minor character? Leaving the reader wondering what happened to him?
If you do catch your error do you go back and re-write the section where they leave the story, or do you insert a line further on in the story?
Also, have you ever or ever considered writing a story from the perspective of the second character in the story, say Finan or Harper?
