Good evening David. Notice that you seem... â€� David Cook Q&A

Michael Bully asked David Cook:

Good evening David. Notice that you seem to set your work in some of the lesser known theatres of war during the Napoleonic/Revolutionary era such as Malta and Gozo, Wales, Ireland, Flanders. An endearing aspect of your writing indeed. How deliberate is this? Do you think the importance of lesser known conflicts needs to be stressed? Best wishes, Michael Bully

David Cook Hi Michael and thank you for your question.
I do set out to write about something that isn't well known in the Soldier Chronicles. I have a main story arc separate to the novellas which will encompass all the well-known battlefields. For me, it's great to write about something not many know about. I have had some wonderful comments from readers who read LIBERTY OR DEATH, which the backdrop is about the Irish 1798 Rebellion (which I only scratch the surface of) and tell me they were educated and want to read more. It's a wonderful feeling.
