OK, I understand that you have plenty of stuff of your own to write without picking up George MacDonald Fraser’s shield to write more Flashman novels. How about a tribute then, with a cameo appearance either by Flashman himself in a future Starbuck book (since we know from the packets of papers that he was in the American Civil War–conveniently in battles you have NOT written about yet with Starbuck like Chancellorsville and Gettysburg). Or alternatively, an appearance by Harry Flashman’s Dad Buckley Flashman, who we know from “Black Ajax)fought in the Peninsular Campaign, in a future Sharpe Spanish adventure? Jim Dickey
