Hello My name is Tim, I´m from Germany and 16 years old, so my English isn´t perfect, but I´ll try my best. I always enjoyed reading your books, especially the Warlord Chronicles and the Saxon Stories. When I read through your website, some questions came to my mind. The parallels in the two series are sometimes very obvious, the heathen is fighting for the christians to get the heathens out of britannia, Derfel as well as Uhtred have important relationships to their enemies. And they both have a Woman, Derfel has Seren, the star, and Uhtred has Aethelfaed, the woman of gold. In my opinion they also seem to have very similar characters, but the point is, I read on your website, you had the most fun at writing at the Warlord Chronicles, but of course after the last book you couldn´t continue writing the series. So I´m asking myself, well right now I´m asking you, did you start writing the Saxon Stories because you wanted to write something like the warlord books again? Well i love both series, and I´m looking forward to your new books, and to me having enough cash to buy your old. greetings from Germany, Tim
