Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I just wanted to send you this email to compliment your work. Like you, I have a great interest in military history and am studying it at university here in Canada. I think your work has done so much to make knowledge of history more accessible to a general audience. It drives others to look more into the discipline by reading your books or watching the TV shows based on your work. Most of my own interest has laid in the first and second world wars, however your work has made me read up on new periods like the Hundred Years War and the Napoleonic Wars. I am currently reading your Sharpe series, and it has awoken a great interest in the Napoleonic period within me. I hope to start reading the Saxon Stories once I get through your Sharpe books.

As I am sure you know, this year has not been ideal for any of us. I myself went through some troubles in the loss of some close family, and my job. I am certainly a lot more fortunate than others of course, but reading some of your books has truly helped me get through these times. Thank you for that.

I wish you all the best, and I look forward to reading more of your work!

Many Thanks,

Liam McLoughlin
