Dear Bernard,

Just a quick thank you for all your work down the years. I think I’ve probably read everything you’ve ever published, and more importantly, enjoyed every last second of it. Your love of history is palpable, and combined with your obvious emotional intelligence and wit, makes for wonderful narration. I have yet to read your Waterloo book (it’s in my queue!) but absolutely love the fact you’ve ventured into non-fiction. Your research has always been immaculate for fiction so it makes sense that you’ve made the stride into non-fiction!

I would love to see you venture into the world of non-fiction again, have you got any plans to do this?

Thoroughly looking forward to Uhtred’s next story and I love how you can trace your lineage back to these times! Furthest my dad could get back was to a bunch of farmers in Gloucestershire in the 1500s, what else would you expect with a surname like Bullock!!

Anyway I’m rambling now, thank you again for everything.

Very best wishes,

a dear fan, Marcus Bullock
