Hi Bernard,

as a proud Northumbrian I must say that I enjoy your writings in “The Warrior Chronicles” series and have just finished “The Empty Throne”. Yet another success for our hero Uhtred of Bebbanburg. I note that you are presently working on book 9 in the series so may I ask, is our Lord Uhtred any nearer to regaining his birthright of the throne of Bebbanburg? In addition, I can’t wait until “The Last Kingdom” appears on our TV screens. Do you have any input into the screenwriter’s interpretation of the story? I do hope the film company does your writing the justice it deserves. Good luck for the future and please retain your muse.
