Dear Mr Cornwell,

I devour your books – Sharpie is my hero.

I read the collecti0n I have, over & over again.

Is there any chance that you would create a new villain/hero for the Boer War?

As a South African, of course, this would have special significance.

This war was significant in that it broke all rules in being the 1st one where smokeless ammunition & magazine rifles were deployed, trench warfare was invented & guerrilla tactics deployed.

I can taste the Cornwell touch, with anticipation!

If i had half your talent, I would attempt to write novels on this war, but sadly, i am a mere mortal!

Best wishes,
