Mr. Cornwell,

I am a huge admirer of your writing style and the way you consistently incorporate the themes of your novels into the story line of the series as a whole.(ex. Wyrd bid ful Araed and the theme of Fate in The Last Kingdom Series). When you sit down to start to tell a story, like Uhtred’s. how do you select the themes that you want to weave into them? And as a follow up does the themes you wish to use have any weight in the historical era within which you choose to explore those themes?

Best,

Jeff
