I just found two volumes of your series the Saxon Chronicles and read them and I am VERY impressed!

Re:  The Tempest.   You should look into the real events behind The Tempest, the wrecking of an English fleet on it’s way to Jamestown, Virginia in 1609. They ran into a storm and the flag ship was wrecked in Bermuda.  There was a secret report that was sent to London that described the events and Hakluyt was one of the 8 shareholders in the company that funded the voyage and it’s believed that he gave a copy of the report to his friend Shakespheare and that became his basis for The Tempest..  I think a story based on the events and the secret report would make a great book!

FWIW  My 12th great grandmother was Mary Purchas, the brother of Rev Samuel Purchas, a close friend of Hukluyt. Mary’s husband was William Perkins a wealthy London merchant (and a Puritan) and he was a member of the Massachusetts Bay Company and he helped fund the Massachusetts Bay Colony as a refuge for the Puritans (just in case things went the wrong way during the English Civil Wars).
