Mr. Cornwell, My deepest appreciation to your work and to the fact that you fell in love and decided to quit the UK and hence ending up as a writer!!! Love is a wonderful thing even for people you don´t know! Please thank you wife on my behalf!! Now seriously, I consider myself the biggest Spanish Cornwell fan (at least until I am proved wrong!). I have the luck of being able to read you in English, and not in a Spanish translation (which are good, but not the same thing… Sharpe talking to Teresa in real Spanish does not work too well!). I just wanted to know if you had come across Arturo Perez Reverte´s historical fiction work. He has written the Capitan Alatriste series, Trafalgar and some others. I think he is the “Spanish Bernard Cornwell” (though he writes fiction too) and was curious to know if you had heard about him or read him, and if so what did you think of his work. That is all, please excuse my humor and receive my deepest admiration. Juanma A grateful Spaniard
