Dear Mr Cornwell , May I ask please about the Children in Need offer last year where you offered on Terry Wogan’s ‘ Auction that money can’t buy ‘. You offered the highest bidder to have their name in your new book ( I presume that was Burning Land )and so I was wondering what name you had to incorporate ? I also ask as I asked last year whether you might have considered using my family ( viking ) name which was ‘ Guyan ‘ . I am halfway through the book and a very enjoyable read it is too . Do you have to reread the previous books to get into the mindset of the character again or is still fresh and vivid as it was originally ? Keep up the literary good work !
