Dear Mr Cornwell, I’m sure you get this all the time but I will nonetheless say that I’ve read the large majority of your books and hugely enjoyed every one of them. I have two brief questions for you if I may: 1. Who are your favourite authors? 2. When will the next Uhtred book be written? – I assume there will be one as he has some unfinished business, and you hinted as much at the end of Sword Song (which is the best of the Saxon Chronicles so far in my opinion as it seems you injected a little more humour)? Thank you for your time and all the enjoyment (countless hours) your books have brought me. John Stocks.
