Dear M.Cornwell, Let me first assure you that although I am a great admirer of your works, and especially of your Warlord series, I have no manuscript whatsoever to present to you. I am currently writing a paper on the three novels of your Warlord series for my Master at the Faculty of Literature in Starsbourg, France, and was wondering if you would perhaps be able to answer some of my questions through e-mails, naturally. I am well aware that I am asking a tremendous lot of you, but few have actually the chance to interact with one of their favourite authors, and so I thought I should at the very least ask you politely. I would totally understand it if you declined, however I would at the very least need light on a particular topic. (so here’s my question) What were the reasons you had for changing your editor from Harper Collins to Penguin whilst publishing Warlord? Looking forward to hearing from you, Matthieu Zebrowsky
