Firstly i would like to thank you for many hours of stimulating and entertaining reading. i have travelled with Sharpe Uhtred, Derfel, Starbuck and many of your other heroes and villains and had the pleasure of introducing them and their stories to relatives and friends. Will there be a follow up to the Gallows thief? The idea of having someone giving the dammed a last chance before the scaffold lends itself to many possible tales.

Is there a chance you could direct your talents to the Scots War of independence perhaps following a young Scot as he travels and rises in the world with Wallace Moray and Bruce.

Can Uhtred have a positive relationship with at least one of his sons , his personal life seems especially hard even for an absent father busy saving the realm.

Any chance of you visiting Australia for a book tour in the future ? once again thanks for the pleasure of your books. Mike Loughman
