Mr. Cornwell, I have read six of your books (The Grail Quest Trilogy, and the first 3 books from The Saxon Stories) and I eagerly (interpret this to mean I actually lose sleep wondering where Uhtred may next step) await Sword Song’s release. I am an aspiring author. I am writing my first novel, book 1 of a historical fiction trilogy. Do not worry, I will not forward it to you. I just hope to someday find that people are as interested, entertained and, in the case of your historical works, educated, by my works as they are by yours. You are most definitely one of my favorite authors and certainly number 1 in historical fiction. I eagerly anticipate each new release based in medieval times (where my novels and interests are centered). Thank you for wonderful characters, accurate history, and entertaining, suspenseful reading. You are quite an artist and your ability to communicate history entertainingly is a rare gift that I now appreciate all the more since having taken on the effort of writing myself. I just felt the desire to pass along my thanks and to also ask 1 quick question. I hear rumor that Sword Song is not the end of Uhtred’s journey; is this so? Shall we expect more from the Saxon Series? I certainly hope so. It is a wonderful epic. I would love to see this series run as your Sharpe series has. Uhtred is, perhaps, the most fascinating character I have ever read. Many, many thanks and kindest regards. Billy Stewart
