Mr. Cornwell,

Last week I discovered The Pagan Lord at my local library and couldn’t put it down. I read a great deal and lately, I’ve not been able to find anything that satisfies me. However, your books have thoroughly hit the spot and I cannot put them down. After I finished The Pagan Lord, I read all the Arthur Books and can’t wait to start at the beginning of the Saxon Stories. Thank you for your wonderful work and I know I will be lost again once I’ve finished them all. Can you recommend a few authors for me to turn to once I’ve finished the Saxon Stories? I also love both JRR Tolkien and George RR Martin, so anything along those lines would be great.

Also, from your responses in the question portion of your website, I know that you do a great deal of research before you write a novel. Is Derfel a historical figure?

Sincerely,
Mary Beth Martin
