At Waterstones last night&.Bernard Cornwell How refreshing it was to hear religion not handled with kid gloves. Also refreshing to have swear words freely spouted. I did feel sorry for the little twerp who was there to have all his prepared questions answered before he got a chance to whisper them. And how grand it was to have you throw off your jacket&..push aside the microphone and simply get down to talking to us. I was amazed to hear that you do all your own research. It was my first book signing. You wrote something in the book beneath my name Susheela. I showed it to my husband who is a linguist(Cambridge), French, German, Latin, Malay, Geordie. He hadn’t a clue what it meant. I’d love to know. Maybe something Uhtred would have known! Live long and tell us more. Sush
