Dear Sir, I am a huge fan of yours and have a few things to ask you if you don’t mind, first, I am in 9th grade and I’m thinking of writing historical fiction and I just want know how you are able to put in fake units like the faulconer legion in real battles without historians calling you up?

Second, what was the bible verse Adam read to Nate at the end the end of Copperhead?

Lastly where did come up with idea for Richard Shape’s character? Thanks for time Mr. Cornwell I look forward to your book. Keep the great work!

P.S. do you think there will be another Starbuck book by 2009,

and have you heard of any fictional book about the Irish brigade? Once again thanks for your time. Adam Azzalino
