Dear Mr Cornwell,

Your books have taught me so much for the last ten years and I keep up with your interviews and website answers regularly. I am 21 and got hooked on your books when I was being a terribly behaved pupil in a secondary school in Spain. I think if I hadn’t been reading your books for the 3 years before moving back to England, there would have been a good chance of me doing a miserable job of finishing school there. So thank you for writing such good stories.

I’m writing to you today because I wanted to ask your advice, you seem like you’ve had quite an interesting life and if you’ve ever thought about writing a biography let me tell you, I would read it!

I’m just a bit conflicted. Around me all I hear from people is that I have a decent job and should stick with it. But I’m not interested by it at all and I don’t think I need to be playing it safe right now. I want to do well in life whilst enjoying it.

I suppose I was just wondering if you have any general advice in life for a young man?

Thank you Mr Cornwell,

Kind regards,

George Summerson
