Dear Bernard, firstly let me say I am a big fan of your books, you are my favourite author, to me no-one comes close. I have read all your books (the UK ones) – first entranced by Sharpe – and love the Uhtred series. I am 3/4 of the way through Death of Kings and it’s like having an old friend back. I really enjoy your style of writing, it is so nice having another of your books to read, although I get near the end and want to stop as I don’t want them to end! I really hope Uhtred and the clan get picked up for a film or series, I would love to see someone like Gerard Butler play him, Kiera Knighly I picture as Athelflead. You create such great characters. Thank you for keeping us entertained and long may you reign! Karen
