1. In developing your plot lines, do you use an outline that is then honed or a free-flow method of composition? 2. Previously you stated that you may get back to the Starbuck Chronicles but not in the near future. Is this because your prime market is in the UK (the setting of most of your novels) and the Brits don’t care about American history? But, BTW — you write it, I buy it. I got them all. L. H.

Going way back, you have said you will get back to the Starbuck novels – still no sign ! I loved all the books and read a great deal about the civil war. I have hoped you would continue with them. I could only think of two reasons why not – did not sell well in America? Main characters too like Sharpe and Harper? Your books are so good (and there are so many battles to choose from!) I am sure your completion of the series would be welcome everywhere. Collin Southern
