Dear Mr. Cornwell All your comments are wonderfully patient and generous. Does your wife also help and advise you? My experience in the creative industries suggest that spouses play a huge role in a writer/composer’s life.

If some-one handed you a magic wand so that you could produce an epic, a film made for theatrical release based on a Sharpe story, with an appropriate budget attached, which story would you personally choose? Or would you prefer to draft a new story in collaboration with a screenwriter? Kindest regards Jennifer Scott Mitchell
