Dear Mr. Cromwell,
I have one question about Uhtred.  Is he going to try and win his family’s home from his uncle anytime soon?  I am 77 with some medical problems. I hope to be around long enough to see the end to this story line.  I am assuming he is recounting his memories of Alfred and company from the family castle.
Thank you very much for being one of  the best if not the best historical fiction writer I have ever read. I think I have read every one of your novels including all of the Sharpe’s novels and have enjoyed them very much.  I found the Fort very enlightening.
Sincerely,
Scott Railton

is it your plan to continue these until you have covered the battle of brunanburgh please?

hi its me mike powers again have just rented all of tom hookton adventures including his recent one . I have only two question this time and that is in the next book do you give some background on Uhtreds upsurping uncle ? i say this because I would really like to know the background story on elfric and Uhtreds father and,the dynamic between the two ,because as readers we are in the dark along with Uhtred about his birth family . Also i would like to know what he would try to do now that his time is growing short and his  nephew the proclaimed  sword of the saxons is alive and slowly moving north to threaten his sons inheritance . I don,t think from what little we know of him and what we do know about his nephew  that  swearing allegiance to eadlorman Uhtred of northumbria will be a viable option.
