Mr. Cornwell, I just now completed “A Pale Horseman”, and I must say it ranks as possibly my favorite book by any author. I cannot possibly imagine how the book could have been any better. I laughed, I got a bit teary eyed, and I pumped my fist in triumph. Thank you so much for writing stories about Britain’s wonderful history. When you complete The Saxon Stories, please grace us with another trilogy from the medieval period. I am working on my own bit of medieval storytelling, and you have been a wonderful influence. I hope someday to quit the teaching profession and become a fulltime novelist. Surely a longshot, but to thrive we all must dream. I will close by saying if I could spend an evening talking with anyone in the world, it would surely be you, Mr. Cornwell.
