I would just like to say, as an educator in the field of Social Studies, I have enjoyed reading all of your historical fiction novels. I can’t wait to see where Uhtred goes next. I recently taught a foreign exchange student from Sweden, and he was well versed in viking history. I directed him towards your books, letting him borrow the ones I own. We discussed at length King Alfred and how your books portray the story. It was a lot of fun. I was also a big fan of Starbuck. I hope he continues his journey as well. I guess I just wanted you to know that you have a history teacher as a fan and any down time I have had, I have spent reading your novels. It allows me to let my mind free of my work and enjoy some historical tales. Greg Birner
