Mr. Cornwell, It seems that you, like your viking friend Uhtred, rarely make the long journey to the great white north of Canada! Perhaps some day I’ll be able to enjoy one of your speaking engagements. I have a question for you regarding writing. I am a professor to several undergraduate classes, and my greatest challenge is developing a passion for writing in young people. I was wondering if you have any tips for encouraging greater success in this area? Academic papers on criminology may be a far cry from historic fiction, but I believe that if one can become excited about a topic, regardless of medium, then they can produce better and more effective work. Thanks in advance, James
