I could write an essay on your body of work, but I will spare you. As an Historian, I am intrigued at your myriad research topics. I suppose access makes it a bit easier…maybe not. I am a direct descendant of a Welsh Lord and my family on both sides are (as purely as possible) descendants of the Welsh/Scots/ Irish. Many songs, names, stories (never written down of course) and early Christian Bibles are vaulted in Northern Virginia. I was commissioned by my family to develop a family tree and I did until the volume and language did me in. Thus your works, and I have read every one, are sublime. Because I live in the remote hills of Virginia, I have become an even more ravenous reader. I have read all works by Conn Iggulden, Wilbur Smith etc. but the first book I always order is the newest Cornwell. You have a preternatural ability sir and I am in your debt especially for helping learn the pattern of early British pronunciation into country boy English. Well done! David Wayne Richard
