Mr Cornwell,

I just wanted to say how much of an inspiration your writing has been for me over the years. I started reading your books with Heretic when that came out, and have subsequently devoured all your work and always look forward with great relish when you have something new coming out. My mother and I have a tradition of getting one another your latest book for Christmas.

After almost ten years, I’ve recently decided to stop working on film and television sets to pursue writing as my career. Amongst this Covid business, I’ve just written the first draft of my first script, and am now developing something for a producer pal. Your advice on writing page was the final push I’ve needed. (I’ve managed around 2-3 pages a day.) I guess I’m just saying thanks for the great stories, and the unknowing encouragement.

Can’t wait for more Uhtred in War Lord, and whatever you do next.

Cheers,

Chris.
