Hi Bernard, Just thought I’d drop you a line to thank you for writing such excellent books. As an archaeologist and a keen student of history, I’ve enjoyed your range of novels greatly. I currently just finishing the ‘The Last Kingdom’ and was wondering if the ‘Battle of Benfleet’ AD 894 will make an appearence? I live just down the road from Benfleet in Essex, in Hadleigh, so it would nice to have a mention… I’ve noticed you were spent some time in Essex, and have spotted in the Arthur and Saxon novels your references to the county and that has just added my enjoyment of your work. Best Wishes, Jamie
