Auto Draft

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

Just finished “1356”.  Most interesting.  And, for fun, Shellabarger’s “The King’s Cavalier”

Different ways of looking at things.

I also found Forester’s “The Gun” and “Rifleman Dodd”.  He did true third person narratives, occasionally judging from a distance.  As he said, the subtlest minds had spend decades figuring out how to make a great soldier.  But if they country had spent half as much to make him a good citizen….but they probably wouldn’t.

I keep trying to write. I keep coming out like John D. MacDonald, which is not bad, but..  Travis McGee’s been done.

I look forward to your next.
