Hi Mr. Cornwell,

I would just like to say thank you. Your series The Last Kingdom is my husbands favorite series hands down. Now I am sure you hear that often, as the series is fantastic, however please allow me to explain. I personally absolutely love to read, and it’s one of my favorite pass times. My husband and I have been together for close to 11 years now, and most of that time he was annoyed with how much I love books and to read. Finally I challenged him to start reading some series of shows that he enjoyed,  wagering that he would like the books even better than the shows. He started with Game of Thrones, which was the show he was currently watching. He read the books and enjoyed them but wasn’t  hugely swayed in their favor. Then he decided to try the books for his very favorite show, The Last Kingdom. And you my good sir won him over hook, line and sinker. He has reread your books several times, and it is not unusual to have the audiobooks playing in the background at our home. So back to the original thank you, you may not know me from Adam, but you are the reason my husband now loves books. You are the reason he no longer questions my love of books and reading. You are the reason he has asked that we both save, so we can take a trip to the places from your books one day. And for someone who loves books, and has a wanderlust, I could give you the biggest hug ever. And if you are still reading this, your dedication of your last book, had him runny into our home to show me that you had dedicated it to Alexander Dreymon. I wish you could have seen his smile. He was so happy and excited about it and it gave me a one of those moments to see his kid at heart. Our lives may have never crossed paths, but you are one of my favorite people and I wanted you to know. Thank you again and I hope you have a wonderful New Year!

Sincerely,

Dana
