Dear Sir!
Huge fan and have as most people browsing these pages, read most of your books. I realised the other day that your writing has had quite a bit of influence on my life being now an avid archer (english longbow of course) and tonight going to my first HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) longsword class. At the moment listening to Waterloo and enjoying it immensely. My three questions
- Is there any book or any part of any book that you would have written differently if you had re-written it today? For example, my absolute favorite and the best books I have ever read, the Artur series has a start that to some people seem to be a bit overwhelming with a plethora of names and places introduced. A bit like the start of “The lord of the rings” with 70+ pages dedicated to the planning of a party. I heard a rumor online that you in some interview had stated that you would have done it differently today. What are your thoughts on this?
- Have you decided what the next book after The flame bearer will be?
- Have you ever decided “not” to write about an era or series of events due to them being already done too well by another author? Like Wars of the Roses by Iggulden or Robin Hood by Angus Donald?
And last but not least, like Cato the elder I have to add, like a madman, please consider more books about Thomas of Hookton or a sequel to Azincourt :-) Have a lovely day!
Best regards
Mattias
