Hi Bernard,
My name is Jonathan Codd (Jon) and I have just finished reading your latest Last Kingdom novel and am now continuing my voyage through Sharoe’s adventures! I’ve read multiple of your other novels too, and at risk of sounding sycophantic – you really are just a wonderful author! You always have me gripped from start to finish, and whilst I’m sure you receive messages such as this quite frequently I just wanted to thank you, because you have bought me a lot of joy! I’m a 34 year old warrant officer in the Royal military police, and throughout nearly all of the years I have been serving (17), no matter where I have been in the world or what life has thrown at me, your works have always been there to offer some escapism, a quiet treat, a sleepless night as the pages won’t stop turning. I really hope this reaches you well and in good health, and I hope the warmth of my gratitude shines through this message for the awesome, perfect books you have created!
With best wishes,
Jon.
