Firstly I love your rules- polite and to the point. I have just come by to say I am very pleased to hear the Thomas of Hookton will return. He is fabulous character and I look forward to the book when it comes out. I was just wondering if you do book signings on the Cape – since that is where you live. One more thing – John Wetton of Asia mentioned your name on his website a while back. Here is part of his description of one of his songs in which he talks about your good self “…I’m a big student of medieval warfare—one of the best authors to read for factual as well as fictional material is Bernard Cornwell–his detail is staggering, and his descriptions of Crusades battles are second-to-none…” The song by the way is called Holy War. Just thought I would drop that in for you to see if you haven’t already. I am glad he did. I was reading your Saxon series at the time and when I finished I went to The Grail Quest series and he is spot on. The series is a real good read – and now I am going to look at Sumption’s Hundred Years War series. Thank you very much. (Now I just need a good book on medieval weaponry to help with the details).
