Dear Mr. Cornwell, I could not tell you how pleased I was to see The Pale Horseman on the shelvs, how do you do it? It seems only a short while ago I was reading The Last Kingdom. Uhtred’s character just matures before your eyes, I love the way he relates to the ones he loves and understands and when he dislikes someone – well he gives them a touch of the verbals; for instance King Arthur – their banter makes me laugh out loud (it’s like talking back to your boss in work). Uhtred is truly my idea of a young warrior. It will be interesting to see how life has changed him in your next book. I have always looked for books with happy endings (I know just like a woman) and have realised I have missed so much – the battle was won and that is what Uhtred does best. Fantastic I can’t wait for your next book. Meanwhile I am going to read The Crowning Mercy then Stonehenge, that should keep me quiet for a bit (I know I ramble on). Thanks again. Kindest regards, Silvia
