Dear Mr. Cornwell, Last night I finished reading Agincourt, the first of your books that I have read. I must admit that I feel like I’ve struck a goldmine; your work ranges across continents and centuries, and appeals to such a wide audience. Most favorably, you seem to write about a lot of topics that interest me, and I thank you for that. I cannot wait to read another book of yours (I might begin with The Arthur Books)! The true reason why I’m writing to you via your website is because I am even more impressed by your genuine regard for your readers. Your website is warm and welcoming, and you make the reader feel like a friend rather than a fan. You are a fine example for your colleagues who may have varying degrees of fame and talent. Thanks for treating your readers with respect; it truly means a lot. Wishing you all the best in your writing, and eagerly anticipating the next adventure on which you lead me. Sincerely, Colin McCarthy
