Dear Mr Cornwell.

first of all, thank you for being an extraordinary author, your stories are fantastic, well documented and really funny.

I have the habit to read late into the night, and very frequently, I’m laughing out loud in the bed with one of your great replicas about a priest, a monk or the “new” faith, and I laugh so hard it wakes my wife. After a couple of months with this imposed regime she has started to read your books too. Well done.

Your description of human feelings, about war and love are the most accurate I’ve read, The Winter King with Derfel and his feelings for Ceinwyn is one of my favorite part, very vivid. I’ve felt the battle joy only once, and I’m very lucky of it and I couldn’t put any word on it until I read your description of the feeling.

Sadly, all of your writings aren’t translated in my language. I’ve started reading in English, but I do hope my fellow countrymen will be able to read the integrity of your work in French one day.

My two favorites historical eras are the early middle-age and the golden age of piracy. I’ve been wondering for some time if you plan some day to write something about those men, and women, who dreamt the dream of Libertalia. Do you think you’ll venture in this troubled sea ? I really hope you do, even a short story would be awesome.

Take care with the terrible heat.

With my best regards,

Pierre Millot
