I’ve got two questions about Uhtred which are pretty much linked to each other: The first is: Across the Saxon Chronicles, Uhtred never really describes his own facial features. His statue, hair and beard are mentioned, but I can’t remember any description of his face. Do you have a distinctive idea what his face looks like? If yes, would you share it or do you prefer the readers to keep their own mind-image of Uhtred?

This is linked to the next question: While reading your books it is almost impossible to not visualize scenes as they would appear in a movie or novel. Have there been any plans or ideas of transforming Uhtred’s life into a movie / series / graphic novel so far? Would you be open to look at graphic novel sketches that users send you and, if they please you, to go a step further by supporting an artist in creating a graphic novel adaption of the Saxon Stories? Note: I personally think they would offer awesome visual possibilities for an artist :) Keep up the great work and I can’t wait for Bebbanburg to be captured. I hope dearly that you share this feeling.
