Good morning Mr Cornwell

Firstly, thank you for your books especially the Warlord & Uhtred series. I’ve read in your responses that you do not plot and I wondered how that worked with a historical fiction series?(obviously quite well!) Battles happen at fixed points in time and space so your characters need to be there also, for example, we are introduced to Kjartan/ Sven/ Thyra in book 1 but that plot/ sub plot isn’t resolved to book 3. When you introduce someone like Kjartan is it the case that you don’t know quite what will happen, simply that something will depending on events in between? You know the destination of your trip but not how you’ll get there – sort of thing?

Many Thanks for all the enjoyment

Simon
