Hi Bernard Cornwell – I was at your talk Sept. 1 in Castine (I’m the National Geographic producer writing the novel set in North Carolina during the French and Indian War.) I am a great admirer, and thoroughly enjoyed hearing you speak – and just had to share the experience with 450 friends on a guitar forum populated by many fans of historical fiction. http://acoustictalk.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=tempttt&action=display&thread=24663. Looking forward to diving into your age of Arthur books, having done a bit of writing on the subject myself for the Geographic. Best regards Donald Smith
