Dear Bernard, I am a student a senior in Highschool to be exact, I live in the United states “Oregon” and have always been very picky about books I can only count 9 of which I have read, till i started reading your books, and I picked up The Last Kingdom and read it within 7 hours and the next day ask my library for The Pale Horsemen. I have always looked for a Author who could tell me of my ancestors but not only that but tell it as if I were living it. As I read your books I feel the fear the love the pride as Uhtred does and I relate to him so astonishingly that I don’t think i can ever find a writer to match you. I greatly appreciate your writing and will always and forever be a fellow fan of yours. Your books have inspired me, I plan the join the United States Marine Core and after I become a warrior I plan to attend a collage to become a pastor. Thank you Bernard for as I would think every writer hopes there books to inspire people in certain ways.
