Mr. Cornwell, I recently picked up a copy of your 2003 book “Heretic” at Barnes & Noble. I was really enjoying the book until I came to page 170 and read a statement by the character Sir Guillaume. You have him blurt out the words “Jesus goddamned Christ.” Mr. Cornwell, I am no prude or religious nut. I am a Viet-Nam vet and a retired police officer and have done my own share of swearing. However those words offended me deeply. My faith in Christ is the cornerstone of my life and I am troubled that you used the name of Christ in that way. You, of course, have every right to do so and I do not favor censorship. I just thought I would ask you to think that maybe some degree of respect should be shown the Lord’s name. I know that the character is profane and crude, but maybe some other phrase could get the point across without taking away from the story. I will probably not finish this book and may not read any more of yours. Please consider what I have to say and remember that opinions are like a-holes… we all have one. And that’s mine. Thanks, Bill Brown
