Hello Mr.Cornwell. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me….. How far do you plan to take the saxon chronicles? i dont mean in terms of how many books but more like a timeline? I know u dont have a plan but surely u must have thought about it at some point because it states in the books that Uhtred is getting old now and sleeps with his sword for fear of dying…. well i was just wondering would the chronicles carry on past the death of Uhtred? possibly with another hero/heroine? or maybe would u start a new series of books? also i would like to know if there was any possibility of maybe giving a background to Ragnar the elder/ Ragnar the younger maybe in short stories? Ragnar the younger fought in Ireland for much of the first and second book (if I’m not mistaken?) so it would be a good read for an aeroplane trip to read a short story about some of those battles? P.S I am a huge fan of yours you really capture the imagination especially of a young boy like me and i hope you keep writing Books (especially saxon stories) until the sky falls down…. Yours sincerely Cal Staines.
