Dear Mr. Cornwell, I know you hear it a lot, but you are a wonderful and inspiring author. I am a history buff (leaving for Scotland in a year to study), and I am reading your Arthus books right now. As I have studied the lifestyle and warfare in the British Isles during the late pre-history and early medieval periods, I get excited to see how you incorporate actual practices and mention sites that have significant archeological significance. I, too, write about things I incorporate from my studies (screenplays, so far). Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you are by far my favorite contemporary author. Take care and God bless! Sincerely, Elizabeth p.s. Did you know that Alistair Moffat quoted you in his book titled “Before Scotland” on page 185 when he mentions the phrase you use for Merlin’s doorway? (the ‘ghost fence’)
