Good day, Mr. Cornwell.

I will try to be short for fear of taking Your time. To say simple – Your books gave me back pleasure of reading. Every book I picked up seemed dull, predictable, boring. Until the moment I accidentally saw first episode of The Last Kingdom. Hmm, I thought, maybe I should give it a try…. And here I am with all The Last Kingdom series, Warlord Chronicles, Grail series, almost all of Sharpe ( I never before thought that I would love Napoleonic period) and few others. Thank You so much for giving world those amazing stories and I could say that Uthred have become one of my favorite  literature character. As someone who has grown up without father, I always have looked up for father figures in books or TV, and personality of Uthred who is son of Uthred ( sometimes Osbert) have helped me to get through tuff times.

So if You would take some time and accept my small wish – I compose viking age styled music from time, and I decided to do piece called “Wyrd bið ful aræd” to say thank You in a way I can. Simply, this song is for You:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbcF1uL1GDc

“Fljúga Hrafna – Wyrd bið ful aræd” .

If, by some miracle You actually liked it, I would like to do my dedication in this way for every book in Uthred Saga (to celebrate the fact that I’m going to reread all of it and yes, I already miss Uthred)  if only I get Your permission and blessing. If not, I fully respect Your decision to say NO!

In any case – thank You again for wonderful books and fantastic joy they gave me.

I wish You all the best, good health, happiness and still productive years.

With best wishes,

Martin Tiltnieks
