Mr Cornwell,
I would like to thank you for the many hours of enjoyment and education that you have given ne through your various novels. I have always been drawn to good historical fiction Trease Sutcliffe Whyte Tranter and Alexander Kent and more recently Lawhead Iggulden Sansom Penman Pope Kirstein Donald and Fabbri have take me from Roman times through the turbulent history Of Scotland all the way to Waterloo and Trafalgar . I rank you and your books as the equal to and in many cases above these authors. Not only are your stories epic but the way you write and the ease with which they can be read make them a pleasure to have.
While many ask for a new Sharpe, Hook or Starbuck I am hoping that one day you may return to the world of the Gallows Thief as I feel that there may be a trove of tales to uncover there..
I am now 60 and live in Australia and for both health and financial reasons I will never see the castles battlefields and countryside’s described by you and the other authors but through the books I get to feel some connection however tenuous Once again thank you for sharing your gift
Mike Loughman
