Mr. Cornwell, you and your work are brilliant. Thank you for such a large and entertaining body of work. As a teacher I encourage my students to read historical fiction (such as The Fort) to get a flavour of the various periods of history. I know it has been mentioned in the past but after reading Sharpe and The Fort I can think of no other author more suited to compose a novel of historical fiction set during the War of 1812. Specifically the Battle of Stoney Creek. Your talents would be most valuable to its treatment and I am sure Mr. Berton would be pleased with your efforts. Cheers N. Shaw
