Mr. Cornwell: Wow – just finished your Saxon Stories and I just can’t wait for the next book. As a student of history, I appreciate your license in manipulating events — if history is to be changed in a novel, it should be to create a fascinating tale, and that you’ve done. Sir, please keep good health, eat well, walk, exercise, drink red wine, use olive oil. We ALL NEED you around for a long time, to finish Uhtred’s story — and to continue pouring your gift over our imaginations. I seriously doubt that you understand what a gift you have, and how enjoyable your art is to us, your fans and readers. Thank you so much

Darren
