Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I have been a fan since I first read The Warlord Chronicles.  I have been following the tales of Uhtred since about 2009. It has been a fantastic story with so much detail about a time in history I love so much. On a recent trip to my mothers home country of Switzerland, my cousins and I discovered a branch of my family that we never knew about although they all live in The Valais, as my immediate family,and have for generations. One of my cousins did an extensive search into our family and not only is this family old, very old, but direct descendants of the Emperor Charlemagne! What a wonderful find of family and heritage. It all makes sense to me now as to why I have loved the middle ages all of my life. Thank you for the Warlord Chronicles, The Grail Quest Series and of course Uhtred. I am about to begin the 12th book of Uhtred’s story and am looking forward to the new adventure.

Although, I would like to read more about Sandman, The Gallows Thief was such a great story!

Well I hope you are busy writing writing your imagination, while I am busy ready reading it during this sad time in our world.

Here is to health, eyesight, happiness and imagination!

Best,

Tina Lissandrello
