Mr. Cornwell, It always amazes me how prolific you and a handful of other authors are by putting out one (sometimes two) books a year. But, thanks for that. My question is when you are writing a novel, do you sometimes have ideas creeping in that would work better for another novel, or are you totally focused on the novel at hand? Also, is it easier to write a Sharpe novel, since you have been writing him for so long and know what he would pretty much do and say in a situation, or is it easier to begin a fresh novel with new ideas and characters? Thanks, Jonathan Mullins
