Dear Mr. Cornwell First of all, let me start off by saying…Good god, there has never been an author who can write such an enthralling novel. I have read the Warlord Chronicles and I am eagerly awaiting the Lords of the North Country.B.T.W. Please tell me when thats coming out in Australia! seeing that you have only put the dates of the U.S and U.K releases up and also that they are so late in the year kinda fills me with dread about when it will finally be released here. The Warlord Chronicles had me running back to the book through the day to find out what happened next, not even the Lord of the Rings had that affect! You are one hell of a storyteller. You’ve also inspired me to take up writing. Don’t worry its nothing like your books, though I have to say if I get even half as much success as you, Il be cheering! Its killing me not being able to run some ideas from my book past you, but i understand the crap it might cause…though to be perfectly honest id be more honoured then anything if some of my stuff did by chance happen to end up in a future book of yours. Well once again, your a great storyteller, hope you get the time to reply, but i understand if you don’t. Matthew Hanks
