dear Mr Cornwell. I am very happy to have found out that you have are writing about the invasion made by the vikings into England so I would like to thank you. Like you I can trace my family tree back to that period, up to 500 AD (Pippin the Older) and am descended from several viking kings including Sven Forkbeard (I guess this means that our ancestors were killing each other but being half German and half American and living in England, this is no new problem to me) so these books truly make interesting reading. Will you start a classical period (roman) series)? I am sure that this would have a great fan base in England as there are currently no books of that period. Yours sincerely, Paul
