Dear Mr Cornwell

I hope you and your family are well after all this covid hell. What a long year it has been. I wish I was as creative as you, but I did write a story for my grandson (5) and sent him a chapter every week by snail mail, as he loves getting letters.

I remember discovering your writing when I read Stonehenge and was hooked. I found the Arthur ian series fascinating. The way you bring the past to life is so impressive. When you started the Last Kingdom series, I waited impatiently for each new book, and devoured them rapaciously.

I was devastated to hear book 13 was the final book, but I suppose all great series must come to an end. So my quandary is that I bought it, brand new, hardback, online. And here it sits, unread, since I got it 5 days ago. I haven’t even read any reviews. I love the character Uhtred and I know I will be heartbroken if (or when?) he dies.

Perhaps I will have to read the whole series again before I can face the Last One.

Trouble is, I am a voracious reader.

It would be wonderful if you were to write another series set in those early times of our history.

I will finish, gazing longingly at Warlord.

Thank you for being such an amazing writer.

Rebecca Morris
