Just a quick message to let Mr. Cornwell know that I just recently started reading his books, and without a doubt he has become my favorite author. Never before have I read so many books so quickly. Military history has always been an interest for me and the way these books are written make them very easy to read and very exciting. Last night I just finished Sharpe’s Triumph and I was almost cheering out loud as I read the last few pages. My wife thought I was nuts! So far I have been most taken with the Sharpe books and the Grail series. Reading Harlequin right now and it is so interesting to read about a military campaign from the view of a band of archers. I find I learn more about history from these good stories then from a actual fact book. Keep up the great writing! Graydon
