Dear Mr Cornwell,

I am a huge fan, and I have in fact emailed you before! My grandfather got me into your books about four years ago. I got the Empty Throne and Waterloo for Christmas and have finished the Empty Throne and am about to start Waterloo, Uthred has been my favourite character of all of your main, but Finan is probably the funniest with his quick remarks and I enjoy their long conversations. What is your favourite character that you have ever produced? In the Warrior Chronicles? And that you have read? Also, I thought that Uhtred’s description of King Edward was very similar to George RR Martins King Robert in a Game of Thrones and wondered if you took the idea from that character?  Will Uhtred’s sorry end with his death or will you carry it on through his son like you did in the prologue to the Empty Throne? Finally I am wondering if you will bring out two books again in 2015 or just one and what book(s) it/they will be? Will it be Uthred? A stand alone or a new series? since several have come to a close. Thank you for reading this and I would like to add I wish to be an author one day myself and have taken a lot of inspiration from your works, you have definitely been a huge influence for my wish to write and have had a massive mark on my future and mark on my life.

Thank You once again

Tierney Witty,
