G’day Mr. Cornwell, So far I have enjoyed everything that I have read that you have written. I have a lot more reading to do to read it all, but I only look forward to it. I have been listening to some of the books in audio format (both abridged and unabridged) and they make the commute seem to go much quicker. Are there any plans to make the Arthur Books into a movie or tele series? If so can you put Peter Jackson in charge of it?

Do you plan to write about the Cromwellian invasion/occupation of Ireland or the English Civil War? If anyone could do that period justice it would be you, so I hope you do write of that period someday. I do recognize that doing that would take a LOT of research but clearly that is nothing new to you! I hope this suggestion falls outside of the “don’t give me plot ideas” realm (Damn the lawyers!) so that it would not impinge upon your creative process. Thanks for giving me something to read beyond electronics manuals and math/physics books! Oh I could use a suggestion about listening to your books in my car. You see after listing to the Arthur Books and Saxon books I find there are many splinters from broken shields, busted swords, spear heads and shafts, and lots of blood stains not to mention the offal which leaves a particularly bad mess… and all this scattered about interior (and occasionally exterior) of my small auto. I have even tried running it through a car wash with the windows and doors open to little avail. I sometimes fear the police will seal off my car as a probable crime scene. I guess it was going a bit far when we mounted a rudder on the rear of the little Toyota Echo and beast head on the hood and put a sail up… Oh well, who needs resale value when you have battle glory? But if you have any cleaning suggestions, I would appreciate them. By the way, Redcoat was quite interesting. It was insightful to hear a story from this period from the “other side” (I am nominally an American of Irish/Scotch descent). John
