Dear Mr Cornwell, I have started reading your Saxon stories through hearing words as I am registered blind. I live in Northumberland and I instantly recognized Bamburgh castle. I have two questions, The first is did you do your research in northumberland area, did you enjoy our part of the world? The second question is, when will the next book of the series expected to be published? so I can ask my local library to order it in talking words format. many thanks for your skills, Keith Shepherd
