Hi, I have a question for Bernard. Hello Bernard, I am a big fan of yours. As a former student of modern history I didn’t think I would find myself reading about the likes of Arthur and Alfred, but since picking up The Last Kingdom I haven’t been able to get enough of it. I have just finished Burning Land (that in hindsight I probably read it too quickly), and was just wondering if you had a definite idea of when the next book in the series will be coming out, I saw a mention of two years on the bulletin board. As a big fan of Uhtred, Finan, Steapa et al I hope we are not left waiting too long!
