Hi Bernard!

Mattias from Uppsala here. I’ve got a question for you that I’ve never seen asked or answered here before. After writing so many books in so many series and genres over many years, you must’ve developed as a writer. I can’t see it myself as I like them all. However if you do a bit of self-analysis, in what ways do you think you’ve developed your writing over the years, and is there a book you really think you would’ve written better if you had written it today? Maybe I could even ask the question like this, is there a least favorite book of yours when you look back at all of them today? Could be for whatever reason. Plot, ending, language, writing skills, character or reception.

And lastly, I apologize but I’ve got to do a Cato the Elder and again ask you to not forget our dear Thomas of Hookton when considering your next book.

All the best from Scandinavia
