Hi! After about 30 years of reading little other than non-fiction (about the “dark” ages, aspects of religion etc) I heard you on radio talking about what was then the new Uhtred series. What a revelation this has been for me. I find that I can access aspects of history through your books that pure non-fiction cannot satisfy. Insights into “real” lives, people’s motivations and internal conflicts etc. Particularly, aspects of how religion operated upon people which seems to be a constant and very interesting theme through the various periods you cover. All this coupled with ripping yarns. Thank you. I can understand that you avoid 1066 and all that – what a depressing period. But what about the English settlements when Cerdic, Cynric, Hengist and Horsa came up against the Celts, their Christianity and the survivals of their original religion? Just a thought! All the best and please keep writing. Pete PS. Thanks for keeping Uhtred true to his faith.
