I love all of your books! I love everything about the history of England. and your books are exactly what I have been looking for, in terms of historical facts mixed with fiction.

You have said that the character of Uhtred is an idea based on your ancestor.Have you ever made your genealogy  open to your readers? My family and my husband’s family go very far back in English and Scandinavian history- according to Ancestry.com. The  DNA tests that I had done verify this fact. The name Cornwell just showed up in one my DNA matches and I would like to know if we are distantly related. And it would be cool to think that one of my ancestors may have had a role in some of the stories  that you write about.

I know you are very busy right now,but I think that you have an interest in family history as I do. I would love to know more about your family.

Sincerely.

Candace Cobb
