Mr. Cornwell. I’m a senior in high school and have been reading your books for about half of my life in school. I must say that I am a huge fan. A couple of years ago I noticed some parallels between Patrick Lassan from your Starbuck Chronicles and Richard Sharpe. I am sure you have already been asked about this but I just wanted to take the time to inquire about it?

In addition I would also like to ask about your plans for future books. What new subjects are you thinking of tackling? Is there any chance that you will leave your historical niche and turn to the histories of Africa or Asia etc? Thanks for the years of fabulous entertainment (and education)and I am looking forward to much more! – Glenn Razafindrainibe, Washington DC
