Dear Bernard
I am an avid reader of your books and have just finished The Pagan Lord.  My daughter has also read it (in one day!).  The problem is that we have both come to a different conclusion as to the ending.  I believe Uhtred survives but my daughter read it that he dies.  Which one of us is correct?
Kind regards
Carole

Dear Mr. Cornwell,
I have been looking forward to this The Pagan Lord for quite some time, and it has been a true pleasure to read, as it is all of your books. Such a joy and your writing skills are beyond comprehension.
I have a question for you regarding Uhtred: In one of the earlier books (I don´t remember exactly which, but I can find it if required) it is mentioned that Uhtred is sitting as an old man telling the story, we are reading. The Uhtred might of course be his son which we get to know in this The Pagan Lord, however the impression you get, is that it is the “original” Uhtred of Bebbanburg (from the first stories).
Now to my question: Do you really intend to let Uhtred of Bebanburg die? -our conclusion from the The Pagan Lord? We were a bit disappointed after such a wonderful (sad) story. Or do you have another book with Uhtred coming up?
Looking very much forward to hearing from you, as Uhtred (along with your other characters :-) ) have become quite a part of your every day life.
