Dear Mr Cornwell,
Having just read your “Writing advice” article, I wanted to send you my appreciation for taking the time to write it. I’m currently writing my first manuscript and am getting consumed by research as the book involves information from many different time periods (Urban fantasy/adventure). I found your column to not only be thoroughly informing but also gave me a chuckle to boot. And have learnt not to get swallowed by the copious amounts of interesting, albeit fruitless information.
Thanks for your many wonderfully engaging books and for your time.
Sincerely,
Kazuya Wright.
