First, Mr. Cornwell, I don’t find your admonishments to be “unfriendly.” You did your best to not make them harsh, and you succeeded. You sound like an exceedingly charming guy. Most of us understand the constraints (legal, time, financial) that all successful authors must comply with. I am not asking for anything. I just want to make a comment on your latest writing, “Agincourt.” When I heard that you were writing a novel on this battle, to me this was the “perfect storm.” I’ve always enjoyed your writings, and particularly enjoy your historical military novels. Nobody depicts a battle scene better than you. I’ve managed to real all your Sharpe books. Agincourt is the one European battle that has always intrigued me the most. I have a particular fondness for archery in battle. Enough said. So, the perfect storm was formed when you wrote of my favorite European battle. I’m almost half-way through and am enjoying it very much. Should you ever write a novel on my most favored American battle field (Champion Hill, Civil War), I’ll be first in line to buy the book. Thanks for great reads. Phil Coleman Davis, CA
