Hi Mr. Cornwell,

I recently discovered your novels about a month ago and have read all ten of the Last Kingdom novels since (just in time for War of the Wolf to come out.) I have really enjoyed them and look forward to diving into the rest of your work.

As a writer myself, something I am curious about is your approach to writing these. How long does it take to write the average Last Kingdom novel? How much of that is spent on planning, or the first draft, or on revisions? You publish this series quite consistently, is there a particular approach you have to doing this?

Thank you very much!
