Mr. Cornwell, A short note to tell you how much your books have meant to me over the previous ten years or so. I discovered your writing by round about means when I was deployed in the US Navy. As you might imagine, any distraction of a few hours was much welcome. I first came to Patrick O’Brien novels and then, via recommendations from Amazon, to the Sharpe novels in India. I devoured all of them. Many hours have been passed since then in the presence of Sharpe, Uhtred and King Arthur-all wonderful stuff though I am partial to the Warlord Chronicles (at least so far). So I thank you sincerely for being a friend and a story teller for all these years. Please continue with you excellent work knowing that I will continue to read whatever you write. And when my novel is published, I will send you a copy (not before per your request). Again, thank you for all of the entertainment over the years. Best Wishes, Patrick Huey Camas, WA
