Hi Mr. Cornwell,
I am a twenty three year old bartender, I just graduated college and have now moved from the south out west to Idaho. I am studying for the LSAT (I’ll take it in August and I need to do a lot more in preparation). That’s just a little about me.
Here’s some more: I have read your books since I was 15, my father always had a large library, and one day he pointed me to your Saxon tales. I have read almost every book twice, and loved hearing the explicit stories as a youngster. I have since read the grail series, and am half way through your Arthur Trilogy. I found this series at a bookstore, saw your name on it and for whatever reason assumed it was the Grail series, and am pleasantly surprised to find another somewhat fantastical historical fiction. I am a history major and a philosophy minor so all of this is my cup of tea.
My thesis in college was inspired by what I read about in the Saxon tales. I argued that Alfred’s push towards Christianity and education was almost as important as the battles and wars he won (Toward the end goal of a united Britain). So thank you for writing and I am excited to see that you have a new book coming out. I will make sure to read the rest of your book series in good time. I watched Sean Beans Sharpe’s tales a few times without realizing that the books it was based on was written by you. So I am excited to read the series as I have a very vivid imagination. So I will read the books which will definitely be better than the show (sorry Sean) and have a beautiful movie going on in my head with Sean as the courageous Sharpe, and all the other characters from the show will be fighting and laughing together with me in my mind. Thank you for all you do.
Destiny is all,
Alexander Knight
