I just wanted to tell you that I got hooked on your Saxon series, after picking out The Empty Throne in the new book section at the library.  I like historical novels, but not necessarily about war.  James Michener was my favorite author beginning in high school, a long time ago.

But I have truly enjoyed your books, and have now read the whole series on the Saxons.  I enjoy your description of battles, the reality of those.  Each story has just a little touch of a love story.  I especially enjoy your comparisons of pagans and Christians.  I was raised Catholic, but consider myself spiritual rather than religious.  I think there is a greater explanation to religion than the simple version we hear in church.  I like Uhtred’s comments about religion.
