Hi Bernard, I have been wanting to contact you since I purchased and then started to read the novel OUTLAW by ‘Angus Donald’. I was at first intrigued by the sticker on the cover which states “As good as Bernard Cornwell or your money back” I thought that quite a bold statement and rather odd because ones personal opinion is immeasurable. Anyway I thought it well worth a try as I liked the subject. As I read more and more I started to be convinced it was you that had written it as it is/was extremely excellent and read like a novel of yours. I started to have a closer think and realised that the initials of Angus Donald are A.D. and yours of course are B.C. I thought this extremely interesting and very clever if deliberate. Also there is a rather flamboyant character called Bernard in the novel and there is no details or history of the author. I have now finished the book, apart from the “Historical Note and the Acknowledgements”. As I have been meaning to contact you regarding this novel I decided to contact you via this site before I read the acknowledgements just in case it ‘blew my theory out of the window” and I did not want that to be the case. As to why the anonymity, well you could have your personal feelings I really do not know, maybe something to do with the subject of Robin Hood. Anyway I must conclude, I very much believe that you wrote OUTLAW if I am wrong than you have a good read ahead and I apologise for my mistake. Thank you for the knowledge and pleasure I have received from reading YOUR novels, I hope one day to give myself the time to write. Best regards Mark.
