are you planning to release another book in this excellent series.
at the end of the pagan lord you said Uhtred would return.
thanks

Will there be another in the Saxon Series? Surely Uhtred cannot be dead. I mean, I realize that he has lived a very long life and is battle-worn, but he just cannot be dead. The end left me puzzled. I had to re-read it because I felt that I’d surely missed something. I remember repeating, “It just can’t end like this. Not like THIS.” I’m sure many other readers feel the same way. After much contemplation I came to the conclusion that it just can’t be the end. It left him in a vacant space, as if the gods had abandoned him or denied him Valhalla, and I just can’t see that being the case. I also realize that, as the author, it is your prerogative to end the life story of Uhtred as you see fit, and it is also the job of an author of a series to leave the readers dangling with a cliffhanger so that they buy and read the next book. Of course, I also realize that you may or may not reveal if The Pagan Lord was Uhtred’s final moment, going out in battle. Yes, I’ve been stressing over this
for some months now.

I have read the whole series with great interest and enjoyment.  Are you writing a follow up book?   I do hope so.  Best wishes.
