Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have been avidly devouring your historical novels for the past three years and I must say that you are, without a doubt, my favourite author. I love it how you often have your main character experience great times then destroy it for them in just a paragraph or two. It strengthens the plot and makes it a better novel always. I just finished Sharpe’s Regiment last night (up past two in the morning) and found it to be one of my favourite Sharpe novels. Have you ever thought of making a novel where Sharpe doesn’t succeed in exposing Fenner and Simmerson and winds up fighting in the War of 1812? As a Canadian I would find it exiting to think of Sharpe fighting in my country, even if it was only fiction. Thank you so much for your novels, they are brilliant. Awaiting the next novel anxiously, Tyson Smith
