Dear Mr.Cornwell, First of all, let me say your books are one of my favourite readings. They are very, very, immersive and have very interesting characters. I am brazilain, and althought I have read your Warlord Trilogy in the end of 1998 and was astonished by the quality of the book, I was very surprised to find out that the trilogy became a best-selling series, this year, here in Brazil. Historical romances (specially set in the middle age) do not tend to be sucessful in brazilian lands, partially because we do not have a medieval tradition in our culture. But your books truly have a human appeal, that outlast any kind of regionalism. The book is pretty popular among our readers (young and old ones). And I have not seen this happen since Mists of Avalon was published here at the end of the 80’s. Keep up the good work, because I am anxious to read the saxon trilogy (hopefully in English, because portuguese translators change the name of places, like Silese, making identification most difficult).
