Dear Bernard,
As with all other people who comment, I just want to say the biggest thank you for your efforts. Your books are without doubt the benchmark as fsar as I am concerned for historical fiction.

OK so to my request. I know that you state that we shouldn’t send you ideas for a book however, as you are unsurpassed in this field I would appreciate it if your could bear with me for a time. Your books have taken us from the stone and bronze ages of Britain through to the Napoleonic Wars I note however that there are, in the greater scheme of things, few novels regarding the early Norman period (Sir Walter Scotts Ivanhoe excepted). It would I feel, be very interesting therefore to link the Uhtred sagas to the Hookton sagas by developing a storyline that encompasses the periods leading up to and after the conquest.

Yes I realise that you have loads on your plate but plese ‘file’ this era for further consideration should time become available.

Thanks again for your efforts
Rob Bennett
