Hello Mr Cornwell, I am very eagerly awaiting the arrival of your book, the fort, in Australia. I just want to say thank you for writing all these books. I love them. I must say that they captivate me. I have written before asking questions and have received replies promptly and I would like to thank you for that. I just wanted to say that you have inspired me to write my own books. I have been working on ideas for the last few years and have about 8 working titles at the moment. As I am a uni student I have a four month break between sessions in the Australian Summer (which is ridiculous) and am taking this time to complete my first book and release it. I hope it will be worthy but is as always a work in progress. Yours faithfully Drew Bale, from Orange, NSW, Australia
