Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I just wanted to drop you a quick line, thanking you for your work writing the Richard Sharpe Series and the Saxon Tales.  I have enjoyed both for the last 10 or so years and passed on my finished books to others. I have the last three Sharpe books to go through, but the third to last is hard to find.  I want to keep them in order, so it has put a hold on things.  I just finished The Pagan Lord this afternoon. So good.  I really enjoy your writing and you are one of the writers who has made me a fan of historical fiction.  Thank you. I will be on the lookout for The Empty Throne as well as Sharpe’s Revenge.

Have you read any of George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman Papers?  If not, check them out.  I’m sure you will enjoy.

I appreciate your work. Keep them coming and thanks for your time.

John English
