Greetings Bernard.

I know so many people initiate their first messages with you by offering thanks for your work. I would like to do the same. I truly do love what you’ve written.

I have a few questions about reoccurring themes in your stories and where they came from.

First: “Fate is inexorable”. This is mentioned in a lot of your writing. Where did you get the inspiration for it? What meaning does it have to You?

 

My other question: I’ve noticed as well that in the cases of Breeda for Uhtred and Nimue for Derfel, the narrator has a lover who he is not truly inlove with, but cares for deeply through childhood and into early  adult life, but this charecter then distances from him eventually to becoming an enemy, and a very degraded form of what he once loved.

Is this based on any real life expirience of yours? Where does that chain of events come from?

Thank you so much. I can’t wait for your new release in October.

Kindest regards

Kjartan (not the cruel) Kelly
