Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have read all of your books and am always eagerly awaiting your next one! So, you must realize that I, like so many of your other readers, am devastated to learn that there will be a two-year gap before the next “Saxon” book, and “years” before the next “Sharpe’s”! Don’t get me wrong – I am very much looking forward to your new “Agincourt” book, but I am very much caught up in the “Saxon” story. Not only is it an exciting story, but, as an American, I did not know much about the time of King Alfred, so I am also learning a lot about this period. Nevertheless, many thanks for all the years of great reading. Sincerely, Elizabeth Kaufman
