Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I just closed The Empty Throne having read and savored every word, every phrase.  Your skill in bringing the nuance of the period is nothing short of stunning.  Well done sir, your are a literary treasure.

I have written several books, published one and have never realized any true success as a book writer, though I have had some success writing articles, copy and the like.  I truly have far more skill in writing than I do in informing the public that I write.  Nevertheless there is something deeply therapeutic in the writing itself.

As such, I again say bravo to your work and to your success.  Thank you for sharing your inspired work.

Yours Sincerely,

Gray G. Fredrick
