Dear Mr. Cornwell,
I am writing to tell you that I feel like I am one of your biggest fans. I am sure you hear that often, but it’s very true. I have been reading historical fiction for a very long time, but you’re my favorite writer. Your stories are so vivid and drag me in. They’re just fantastic. My favorite series is the Saxon Stories. They’re absolutely amazing. Uhtred is one of my favorite characters. I especially enjoy The Last Kingdom on Netflix. My wife and I watch it and she just loves it. I also love history and I have always found Anglo-Saxon history to be woefully neglected. It’s such an interesting period in history. I enjoy the poetry, language, and culture.
Anyways, I’m a huge fan and I enjoy your writing. My parents have watched the Last Kingdom on Netflix too. It’s kind of funny because my mom is going to Cape Cod for vacation in July. She is hoping that she might run into you, but I told her not to keep her hopes up. I told her that you also have a home in Charleston and she was envious because Charleston is such a lovely city.
I’ll leave it at that. I wish you continued success and I will keep an eye out for future works. I’m excited to hear from you.
Yours truly,
Nicholas Johnson
