Hello, Mr. Cornwell. It’s not necessary to reply, but I simply had to take this opportunity of thanking you for the many, many hours of reading pleasure you’ve provided. Being an avid reader, I’ve sampled the works of many modern (and some not-so-modern) writers, and can honestly say that all of your novels have left me wanting more – without exception. Should anyone ask me for advice on reading matter, my first question is always “Have you read Bernard Cornwell?” Looking forward to meeting Uhtred again. Once again, sincere thanks.
