Mr. Cornwell- Until recently, I considered myself relatively well read. Then, a friend pointed out that I had neglected your works. He persuaded me to read one of your books, and I chose The Archer’s Tale (which, I agree, should have been titled Harlequin here in the US). To put it succinctly, I was floored. The moment I finished, I began my hunt to purchase Vagabond and Heretic, and fully expect to follow those with Stonehenge, and most likely the Sharpe series as well. A writer of your caliber must recieve plenty of messages to this effect, but I felt that I needed to say my piece. You are, in my humble opinion, a master of your craft, and your books have earned a permanent place on the top shelf of my collection. PLease keep up the good work, and if it means anything, take pride in the fact that you are gaining new fans every day. David Knapp
