Greetings Mr. Cornwell and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I am an avid fan of your books, I’ve read most of them and the only ones I haven’t read are Gallow’s Thief and the Sharpe series. This is more due to the fact that I prefer pre-renaissance era history and warfare then anything against the books themselves. I’m a particular fan of the Saxon Chronicles because it showcases a period of history that is, over all, glossed over by many teachers and history courses. I was just wondering about Uhtred and Bebbanburgh. You write his perspective as an old (for the era) man recounting his history but as the main focus of the series is the formation of England as a nation and not separate kingdoms, I was hoping if you could answer a simple and, hopefully, spoiler-free question. Do you plan to showcase the capture of Bebbanburgh and the resolution to Uthred’s lifelong quest to reclaim his ancestral lands from Aelfric the Usurper?
I hope to hear from you and I wish you nothing but joy and luck in your endeavors.
Your devoted fan,
Josh Lyle
