Hi Mr Cornwell, Just to let you know that I have read all your books so far about Uhtred and look forward in anticipation to the next episode, although I have an Irish surname I am born and bread in Northumberland, not too far from Bamburgh(Bebbanburgh) and the books bring to life what my home county must have been like in those dark and forbidding times, my Mothers family where Armstrongs the famous Border Reiver family, have you had any thoughts on maybe writing about the dark deeds carried out by such families as these and all the cross border battles and thieving that went on ?
