I have been reading your books for twenty years now. All of them. (Within the historical fiction genre). It is my belief that yourself, and others like you, are institutional in creating a panoramic view into history that is more educatory, possibly even more accurate within the novelised format, than many of the non-fiction class degree level works available, which can sometimes read like a spreadsheet. I believe that an author of your ilk could do so much for the extra-curricula education of Scotlands keen history enthusiasts. Something that has, for a long time, been all but obliterated from the school/college curriculums of Scotlands falsley labeled independent education system. No Scot (published) has took up this challenge since Nigel Tranter romaticised our greatest moments with Chekov-like brush-strokes. Scotland is screaming out for a Bernard Cornwell…perhaps you could champion, patron…or even whip up a literary Wallace for us. Or even have a nibble yourself….
Sincerely. Neil
