Dear Mr. Cornwell:

I discovered your Saxon stories a couple of years ago and read them all without stopping. I then agonized for a year for The Pagan Lord to be released. I have loved them all! You are a superb storyteller. Since I am of Danish heritage, your books have awakened my love of history, and I have been trying to read as much as I can about ancient Scandinavian history–actual and novelized. It is fascinating and wonderful. So thank you for that! I am partial to the Norse side as you can imagine. I’m glad Uhtred has remained pagan. I wonder if you have come across any novels about Canute the Great? I have searched to no avail. I think his story would make a wonderful novel. Thank you again for writing such terrific and exciting books. I’m looking forward to the next Uhtred and am thrilled it will be in January 2015. I will be sad when his story ends.

Best regards,
Lise

P.S. You should check out History channel’s The Vikings. It’s quite good; although, they aren’t very good at shield walls yet. It’s the story of Ragnar Lothbrok and his adventures. Since not a lot is exactly known about him, they’ve been able to play with the facts a bit. It makes it fun. Having read your books and with my own research, it’s nice to know what is coming. I’m also able to explain to my son and husband how a shield wall should work!
