Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have been contemplating writing you to tell you what a fabulous writer you are, but for some reason haven’t struck up the nerve until now. I just finished your “Lords of the North” and just wanted to say, well done! I know it sounds silly, but you are the most impressive writer I’ve come across, and I read a lot! :) I also wanted to write to let you know how much your books can influence a person. I am an American living in Glasgow for the moment, but I studied medicine for three years in America. I have always loved medieval history but never thought it had a place in my everyday life. But reading your Warlord Chronicles of Arthur (of which set I have three editions!) changed my life, honestly. I am now a Master’s student at Glasgow Uni studying medieval studies and could not be happier. I have a set of the Arthur Series by my bed and I read them almost every night before sleeping, even though I’ve read the series six times now! It never gets old, and your intricate plots and character progressions absolutely move me, every time. So I guess what I’ve really written to say is, thank you! I own all of your books apart from the Sharpe series- I have yet to start them, but I’m sure when I do, they will be as difficult to put down as I still find “The Winter King!” With Warmest Regards, Heather Ball
