Mr Cornwell. Have held off re-reading my Saxon Shores series, in the hope I can greet your latest book as a continuation of the “read.” Great to see the next book is on the way. Would you be able to include a “Roderick,” or a variation of the same, as one of your characters? My mother, who is Welsh,tells me it was intended to be Rodric before my father got confused on the way to the Registry. I am exceptionally fond of the series. I imagine they must be a joy to produce – as much as the labour of writing any book is. Thanks for the series. It gives lots of pleasure and the brings the “Saxon Shores” come to life. Cheers Rod Thomas
