I had to write and congratulate you on a great book in the Saxon series. I think I started reading you books when I picked up Stonehenge in an airport. I enjoyed that book so much the I started on the Saxons stories and have waited for the release of each one ever since the first. I will admit the last two Sword Song and Burning Land I cheated and ordered them from Amazons UK web-site. Mostly because I couldnt wait for the release in the US as I live in Rhode Island. Anyway I absolutely have enjoyed the Saxon Series and very much love you writing. One question having finished Burning Land in a few days wondered if Aethelflaeds Son is Uhtreds? At this point in the chronology she only has a daughter I might be wrong? You mention in the notes that her son goes on to be king so just curious if it hints of some future storyline? I have to say after finishing Sword Song I found myself wondering if Uhtred would ever regain his home in Bebbanburg and after this last book I dont care as I am very excited about his new found alliance and relationship with Aethelflead. When is the next book coming out which I suspect you are forever getting asked?

What are you reading at the moment? Recently I have been reading Conn Igguldens series on Ghengus. I also like Orson Scott Card and LE Modessit. Lastly I enjoyed your latest book and look forward to the next one. Haven’t brought myself to read any of the Sharpe’s book but I will give in eventually. Sincerely, David Becker
