Mr. Cornwell, I have been collecting your books and series for many years and have read and reread them all several times over. There is always so much more depth, so many more layers to discover after the plots are known and familiar to me. Unlike other authors whose series I enjoy, you never lose continuity or simple character descriptions. For example, I have encountered in others different hair and eye color and even names from one book to its sequel in other authors, but never you! Sometimes I have to wonder who is proofing their manuscripts! Well, I put up with it because I am a great fan of historical fiction, especially the Arthur tales, although I don’t suppose his story is strictly historical fiction! Your series is one of the best and most enjoyable although I have to say the “Mists of Avalon” ranks up there for me because of the importance of the women as the main storytellers – not a common perspective. I like Jack Whyte’s version as well. But back to you, I just want to say that I appreciate your gift so much and look forward to many years of reading and rereading your works. Thank you so much.
