Hello Bernard, I have been an avid reader of your books for a number of years now, ever since I borrowed my mother’s copy of The Winter King, I was hooked. Your narrative and the way you describe the battle scenes keep me captivated and unable to put the book down, regardless of the late hour, until I have discovered the outcome of the skirmish, be it involving Uhtred, Derfel or Thomas of Hookton. It has always been an uncanny coincidence that you tend to write about the periods of history that fascinate me, and I was wondering if you had any thoughts about writing about Richard Neville 16th Earl of Warwick, also referred to as The Kingmaker, following the part he played in the War of the Roses. Or if not necessarily the man, perhaps the period? As you know the period that we know as Medieval was coming to an end during this period, with the end of the Plantagenet Dynasty approaching… I would love to read your adaptation of what was in effect the second Civil War in post conquest English History.
