Mr. Cornwell, I wanted to take a minute to express what a wonderful author I think you are! I am a 31 year old female, who last month was looking to find a novel set in the medieval/renaissance times. Being a member of SCA (www.sca.org) this time period is very interesting to me, and as I was headed on a road trip with time to read, I wanted to find a book that took me on a historical timetravel as well. I have to say that as I entered the local library, I had little time to find a book and hit the bookshelves as soon as I entered. As I started to look at the titles on the shelves, I noticed “Heretic” and was intrigued by the title and read the cover. I passed it on to look a bit further, but as I was looking, my mind kept going back to “Heretic”, so I went back and took that book with me on my trip. I cannot say how glad I am that I did! I was hooked by that book. I could hardly put the it down, and after I finished the book, I wanted more… To my delight, I find that there is more about the story of Thomas of Hookton, but that I had started with the last book of the series! Well, I am now better informed and have corrected the mistake and am now in the middle of reading “The Archer’s Tale” and I love this book as much as the first one I read! I cannot express how delighted I am to have discovered your books (one of the best “accidents” I have had!) and I can’t wait to read more! Sincerely, Krista
