Dear Mr Cornwell,
I’m a great fan of yours & have all your Sharpe & Starbuck novels, among many others. Every few years, I check your website to see if there is any sign that you are ready to write the next Starbuck novel. With the similarities between Sharpe & Starbuck’s characters & era, I totally understand that you’d prefer not to write about them both at the same time but now that it’s been 20 years since The Bloody Ground was published & a good few years since your last Sharpe novel, I (& a good few of my friends who also love your books) hope that you’ll think hard about resurrecting Starbuck now? Go on! He’s too big a star to leave with his story only half told.
Yours respectfully & hopefully
Chris
