Mr. Cornwell, I have read just about everything you have written, as has my father, brother, uncles, and cousins (the males anyway). Thanks for making family time an opportunity to discuss your characters and the times in which they lived instead of looking into each others glazed eyes while my aunts discuss and sample a new variation on their pumpkin pie recipe that defies all natural law and actually makes infinitely unpalatable, worse. I have just finished the Arthur series. It seems that you enjoyed writing this series above all others, as I have enjoyed reading it. The technical challenges with the numerous characters and locations seem to have been particularly daunting. Do you enjoy the freedom of writing of an era where you are not as constrained by history such as Arthurian Britain, or is it more enjoyable to write using specific and detailed historical events and weaving a character like Sharpe into history? Which do you find easier? How long in respect to your other books did the Warlord series take to write? Will you be returning to Halifax, Canada in the spring? Thanks for everything. Regards, Joe H Day
