Dear Mr. Cornwell.

I shall use bullet points which, albeit horrible, will make your reading faster:

1) New fan and you’re one of my new favorite authors. My girlfriend found an abandoned copy of The Winter King, and we devoured the series in a week. Now on the Saxon Chronicles. She’s an English Medievalist, and I have finally found an engaging way to learn of her passion.

2) You have expanded my vocabulary of insults tenfold. While I hope I never have to make use of it outside of traffic, I still thank you for it.

3) George RR Martin recently recommended you on his blog http://grrm.livejournal.com/316785.html

4) As a fellow foreigner in Massachusetts, enjoy the snow! I’m firmly convinced when the Vikings came to New England and experienced the weather, they all exclaimed “Niflheim!”, got back on their ships, and headed back to Iceland.
