Dear Mr. Cornwell,

As an historian and aspiring historical fiction writer, I wanted to let you know that your books and style as an author are an inspiration to me.  I am particularly fond of your Sharpe series, the Starbuck chronicles, Agincourt, and others.  Furthermore, I recently picked up Waterloo and am excited to crack it open.  Please keep the books coming, and all the best to you and your family.

Cheers,

JR Bricksfield
