A fiend of mine recently died after a long struggle with cancer. We shared a love of historical fiction and nonfiction and I am happy to say I introduced him to your books, first with the Starbuck Chronicles and after that the Sharpe books. He in turn introduced me Nathaniel Philbrick. As Canadians we grew up with Pierre Burton and a love of Arctic History.
I was wondering if you had ever read Burton’s two books on the War of 1812. They are incredible accounts about the war. I was recently in Niagrara on the Lake and followed General Brock’s route. Also, have you thought of a Loyalist Story as an interesting character? I live in Loyalist country in Eastern Ontario where Loyalist houses and names remain today.
Thank you for the many books my friend Gary and I shared. Your books will continue to take me back in history constantly remind me of a great friend.
