Mr. Cornwell: My name is Joshua Axton and I wanted to thank you for writing such fantastic books! I have purchased and read almost all of your books with a particular exuberance for the Starbuck, Sharpe, and The Grail Quest Series. Though most of your books are historical fiction I have discovered modern day motivation and lessons from them; especially with relation to fear! Almost all your characters battle fear as an enemy as much as the enemy itself. Your illustrations have helped me with my own leadership skills and shown me how important and humanistic it is to have fear. The trick is to never show it! Nonetheless, hopefully New England is treating you well! My wife and I have a home in Goose Rocks Beach, Kennebunkport, Maine and can appreciate your desire to make New England your home. I look forward to reading your next novels and wish you and your family only the best. Thank you, Joshua P. Axton
