Mr Cornwell, I love all your books. I think you are a fantastic author. I’ve recently read the Lords of the North and thought it was fantastic. Uhtred is perhaps your darkest character. Derfel and Thomas of Hookton are basically decent men living in bad times while Sharpe has a good heart but Uhtred seems to like bullying weakear men especially priests. As an Irishman I particuarly liked Finian. I wish I could write like you do but I don’t have a gift for English. Thanks for your time, an Irish fan
