Hey Bernard/Mr Cornwell (whichever you'd prefer.)
Just wanted to email you to say thank you for writing The Saxon Stories. I have always been a fan of the Sharpe series and recently I had a huge craving for some good reading after reading the Song of Ice and Fire series and then someone told me about the Saxon Stories, so I bought the first book and then next thing I know I've read the first two books within days. I find all of the characters really fascinating and sometimes I find myself supporting the Danes (I am a bad Englishman.) Also living in Hampshire on the South coast it's a really nice change to see some places I recognise in a book!
All in all I could probably write an essay to you about everything I love about the series so far (about to start the third book) but I'll finish off by saying that you have provided me with much needed escapism and immersion in tough times, and you have gained yourself a lifelong reader. I plan on reading your other books as soon as I've finished with the Saxon Stories. I'll be looking forward to see what you create next!
All the best, and I apologise if my spelling/grammar is terrible, Being 17 and never having very good grades in English makes for a poor combination! Haha!
