I’m a 13 year old kid who doesn’t read a lot. That all changes with your books. I see it, I read it, I can’t stop. I read the Pale Horsemen with glee. I love the Arthur series and the grail quest. Truly magical. I have one question – were any of your characters made up in the Arthur series? You inspire me sir, I daresay you get that a lot but your books take reality away and I imagine I am Uhtred and Thomas. People make fun of me at school because I can’t put your books down but I’m not bothered as long as I am reading true masterpieces. I love the way you pull off short and long sentences and describe the enemy as fearsoome, making me sweat. Your work is the Dickens of the 21st century. Andy
