Dear Mr Conwell,

I love your books. Especially the Saxon stories which is now the Last Kingdom series. I’ve always wanted to be a writer of some description, whether that be a writer for Doctor Who or an Author writing my own books. I’ve always been fascinated by the History of the Royal Family as well as History in general. Before I read the Last Kingdom, I knew next to nothing about King Alfred the Great or the Viking invasions of Britain (I knew specks of knowledge). But now I’m emailing you today just to say thank you for the Last Kingdom series. It’s been a huge inspiration for me, both aspiration wise and seeking more knowledge about the ancient history of my country. I ask you this as a huge fan, how many more books of the Last Kingdom series are you going to write ? And will the BBC follow them up with more Last Kingdom series on TV ?
