Dear Bernard,
It was disturbing to read that you consider yourself of too advanced years to contemplate starting a new series.
Could you be tempted perhaps by a Lancastrian Starbuck like character fighting for the Yorkists.
What a period in history, full of intrigue, conspiracy, ambition, treachery, vengeful women and larger than life players Does it whet your appetite? You are never too old.
Best Wishes,
Hugh
