Dear Bernard
I would love to thankyou for the great adventures you have given me and the hours of listening 🎧 pleasure. All day I listen 👂 to the stories in my truck while hauling the dirt and give me some sanity to the insanity that indulges my life 😆. If I can find the chance to one day shake your hand I would hold that memory in much higher regards than shaking our kings hand, for your a king amongst men. I find it interesting that our birthday are 3 days apart and I wonder do you sit by the water to find inspiration for your tales as is our sign from the stars the water. I own a boat golli gooloo named after my grandparents in aborigine as part of my inheritance from their house what was Australia lodge but there I find peace in the world again with the company of your books. My favourite so far has been the Saxon novels uhtred has been a very firm favourite for me Johnathan keeble captured the soul of uhtred but Matt bates did kind of let him down and the voice of good old steapa was lost. The series of the last kingdom has also been a grate love for me also Alex did a great service to your character although there is to much change from your original. I look forward to reading uhtreds feast when the time is right hopefully sometime around Christmas. I wish you well Bernard and I hope you never not lose passion for writing your tales for I am like most of your heroes not much passion for either but you are 1 of the few that truly inspire me and I’m greatly thankful to convey these thoughts to you.
Warmest regards and humble appreciation.
