When may we expect the book following Sword Song in the Saxon Chronicles?
We just finished reading The Fury of the Northmen by John Marsden [1993]. It details the history that you incorporated in Saxon series. Was the "blood eagle" commonly used in that era by the Norse? Where are the remains of Saint Cuthbert currently housed, including his original coffin?

I haven't started the next book of the Saxon stories, but it is most likely the next book I will write. If so, we'd hope to see it published in the UK in October 2009 (and possibly in the US in January 2010 ).
I think the Blood Eagle is a bit of a myth . . . but I could be wrong. Not sure about the original coffin, but Saint Cuthbert lies in the glorious cathedral at Durham.
