Mr. Cornwell, Obviously, you do a great deal of research for works. I was curious as to whether this research served the imagination as much as the accuracy and details of the time. Information seems to open up doors for the imagination to, well, imagine more. You have said that you like reading history, who would have guessed? Does all this study help you to see the settings and characters vividly. Does the research make the writing all that much more fun? Wish you the best and looking forward to sneaking off to the book store for The Fort in the next week or so.

Any chance of seeing you on facebook anytime soon? Respectfully, Daniel
