Dear Mr. Cornwell,
I am a 58 year old avid reader and lover of history. Every few years I will select a historical conflict to study, and then read everything that I can access to learn what I can about that period of history. Not long ago I realized that I knew absolutely nothing about the Peninsular War, and through that reading came across your Sharpe series. Not only did your writing educate and entertain me, it left me with a seemingly insatiable appetite for your other works.
I have never written an author before, and don’t really have much to say other than “thank you”. I can’t begin to imagine how much research and hard work goes into your writing, but for this one, insignificant reader, the results are amazing, and I honestly can’t express my gratitude adequately.
Warmest regards,
Gary Olivi
