Dear Mr. Cornwell,
There are very few authors whose books I choose to re-read. I still enjoy getting engrossed in an Edgar Rice Burroughs epic or from the stories penned by the late science fiction writer Andre Norton. After retiring from a career as a history prof, I turned to reading historical fiction and your books have helped propel me into trying my hand at writing historical fiction. I’ve had three novels published by “indy” publishers, but have had little luck in finding an agent. Whenever agent hunting gets me down, I return to your Saxon novels for inspiration and to whet my appetite again for the hard game of writing. So, you are there with Burroughs and Norton, Robert E. Howard, and a few others. You are a treat.
