Dear Mr. Cornwell,
Your books have provided endless enjoyment for me. I have read and enjoyed all of your books and they started a lifelong interest in history. I have done a lot of reading on piracy in the Caribbean and elsewhere. Have you ever thought of basing a novel during the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean? I think this setting would be great for your amazing storytelling talents. Many of famous pirates (Roberts, Morgan, Blackbeard, Vane, Avery) were English or Welsh and the motivations for their exploits were complicated. I could easily see a “Sharpe-like” character who falls into this life. I hope you have considered this era. Since Sharpe is a particular favorite of mine, I look forward to the release of your new non-fiction book on Waterloo.
Thanks
Larry O’Ferrall
