Dear Mr Cornwell, I have been enjoying your books for several years now. I started off by reading Excalibur, not knowing that it was the third book of the trilogy. I then proceeded to read the series backwards. Then forward. I really liked the Sharpe Series but I am so intrigued by the Saxon tales. I am on my second read around since the Burning Land came out a week after my birthday. I just finished The Lords of the North. I feel I am right there with Uhtred. I am also reading the suggested readings on your site. At least the ones I am able to get from the library. I am not usually one to write “fan” mail but I was moved tonight looking over your website. I thought it amusing how mean you were in your “what not to send” your characters would have been more blunt. Keep writing, John Cafiero
