Dear Mr. Cornwell, just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed your books, and why. Travelling to England for a conference, I had a few pounds to spend before going home (DO hate to just hand money over to the bankers for the exchange rates, don’t you?), so picked up a few of your books (the first three in the Grail series and the first one about the Danish invasions of England). Am ever so glad that I did, and now am looking forward to hunting down the “Pale Horseman,” as well as the ones about England before the Danish invasions. Good battle scenes, not too long, but also healthy reminders of the horrors of war, and particularly refreshing is your ability to tear the curtain of time, so that it seems that the things are happening today, and that we could meet these people on our streets (sometimes, hoping not to!). Not an easy task: presenting how things were in the past, while making them seem present. Am enjoying your stories and the characters that you create. Thank you, and have a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! (no need to write back, just wanted to say thanks). Star Meyer
