Dear Mr. Cornwell. I have never written to any author or any public figure. I am a 44 year old attorney and army reserve lawyer. I have a family. I have little time to spare. However, that said, you are undoubtedly my favorite author. I have read every book of yours, many numerous times. My first was Sharpe’s Rifles. That first page of your book hooked me like no other read. I really enjoyed “The Fort” and “Gallows Thief” not too mention the usual suspects. Unfortunately, it is not humanly possible for you to continue to produce books at the pace I need to satiate my reading needs. I have recently discovered James Patterson. Keep up the good work….you’ve made a lot of money off me but I truly enjoyed ever read.
