Dear Mr Cornwell,

I just wanted to say that I think it’s wonderful that you spend so much time answering questions and engaging with your readers, on your website.

What a splendid chap you are!

Thanks, too, for your books – life would be so much more dull with Uhtred, Sharpe, Derfel, Starbuck and Thomas!

Bye for now.
