Dear Mr. Cornwell, If you ever get to a point where you need begging and pleading to keep writing, send me a note. I think that I’ve read every fiction piece that you’ve done (I put down anything else that I’m reading if I stumble across something new of yours) and anticipate the next. I discovered you through the Sharpe series and am delighted to learn that there are a couple of new TV versions to come, and a book in September. I’m a retired Federal Agent and have some time now to indulge my lifelong love of good fiction. I don’t need a response to this thank you for all the pleasant and educational hours that I’ve spent with your writings–unless, of course, you get to that begging and pleading part I mentioned. Thank you, Leo Shepherd St. Augustine, FL USA
