Good Day Mr. Cornwell,

I am simply writing to express my great appreciation for your work. I must say I have only read the first three books of the Saxon Chronicles, but that’s all it has taken. I have become a huge fan of the series! I admit i first discovered the series after having watched the adapted T. V. Series on Netflix (big fan of the show as well, as is my wife, we are looking forward to season 4). I myself studied History while in College and am certainly a history buff. I find myself delving into different eras of History and exhausting resources on said Eras and moving on to some other timeline. Currently i am researching Anglo-Saxon history in England after reading immensely about Norse history (Why?, simply for the joy of learning something new and fascinating from resource texts to archaeological findings to historical fictions pertaining to the subject matter). So I decided to get into your novels after watching the show. I went down to the Cape Cod mall (I read you live in Cape Cod now, how do you fare in the summer traffic? I live on the mainland side just over the Sagamore Bridge) Barnes & Nobles and grabbed the Last Kingdom. The detailed description and additional content were great; I could go on and on. I particularly have enjoyed the battle narratives and the subtle intricacies you give in them that you miss when watching them on the show. I finished the book in a week, which for me and my busy schedule having to work and raise my three children with my wife was quite fast. I was back to Barnes & Nobles and bought the next 2. Fantastic reads and as i said am well into the fourth. I understand you have plenty more books and i have a ways to go to catch up to the War of the Wolf but i will be there soon. I have never actually written to an author before but i was on your site and saw the contact bar and thought I should give credit where credit is due. So now having done that I again thank you for your work and only wonder if the story of Uhtred will continue on and also wonder if you have any hand in the tv series itself in any capacity other than what the books give?  Hope this finds you well and have a Great Day.

Respectfully,

Richard Frazier
