Dear Mr. Cornwell,

Thanks so much for your writing. I especially enjoyed your Saxon series. It made me interested in that period of history, so I read up on it. I may be flirting with the guidelines here – but I do not want to suggest an idea to be used in a book – but suggest a book(s). I have never had the privilege to read (in the historical-fiction genre) a story on king David of the Bible. I do not know if you are familiar with his whole story? Most people just know about Goliath and perhaps Delilah, but the wealth of plot in his life is staggering. Rags to riches, love, conflict, betrayal, war, kingdoms, friendship, disappointment, political intrigue to die for , bravery, joy, it really has all the makings of a phenomenal story. In fact, one book cannot possibly contain it. The characters in his stories are just brimming with potential and the plots to deep. I wish so that an author like yourself would accept the challenge to write it and do that magnificent story justice. If I am too forward to suggest this, please forgive me. However, it is worth my try. Happy and prosperous new year to you!
