Hello Mr. Cornwell!

I am thoroughly enjoying The Last Kingdom!  I’ve read your Sharpe books, but this Viking/Saxon history has really grabbed me.  Possibly it’s ancestral. I’ve visited many of the places mentioned, so I can envision your characters in their settings clearly. One of my favorite memories was walking a Roman road in Yorkshire.

I designed and rigged all the ships and boats for the Pirates of the Caribbean series of movies.  When I was down in Antigua in 2003, there was a sweet little yacht moored at Nelson’s Dockyard.  I was told it was yours.  I was impressed and took a picture of her..

Tell me, was it really, or did I fall for someone’s fiction? If so, do you still have her? Where do you sail?

Thanks, and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series!
