Dear Bernard,

I found your books, because the Uthred stories are included in my monthly napster subscription. They are great books even in their Translations, and if you ever get the Chance, Listen to Gerd andresen going “uthred! Uthred von Bebbanburg!”

Anyway, I’m trying to write a book myself, but keep getting snagged in my research. I have settled on the regency period, and am trying to get my Protagonist from Britain to Germany… And I don’t know how. how do you go about researching such minor Details?

I would be grateful for hints. Let me just say, the way you go about writing with the pace of your books, their quality and your appearance as an author is inspiring.
