Mr. Cornwell,
I just wanted to say thank you for the time you have spent researching and writing your books.  After reading everything I could find from Patrick O’Brian, my father’s old history buddy passed on one of your Sharpe’s novels.  (I am a son of a history teacher.)  Needless to say I have now gobbled up everything except the Starbuck series and those are on deck.
I didn’t think that I would enjoy the Arthur stories as they seem overdone in our current media, but after reading how you really enjoyed writing them, I gave them a shot.  Wow! They were awesome!  The Archer novels, and The Saxon tales were great.  I want to build a stonehenge in my backyard!  When shooting archery, my friends and I joke about keeping our strings dry.  (This is hard in Ketchikan Alaska as we have 150+inches or rain a year!)
Kenelm is my middle name and reading a couple references to Saint Kenelm was really cool too.
I am a little bummed that I bought most of your books through the ibooks/itunes deal, just because I would like to pass them on and create a cool collection. My bad-I just couldn’t wait until the morning to go to the library, so I’d buy and download the next one!  At least I have the collection on me  wherever I go.
Anyway, thanks again, and if you are ever on a cruiseship in Ketchikan, Southeast Alaska, give me a shout and I’ll give you and your family a tour of our fish factory/cannery.  I’m the Personnel Director-started as a slimer and worked my way up like Sharpe.  I swear some of these corporate bigwigs buy their positions like the British officers!
Best regards,
Thomas
