Hey Bernard, I just finished Excalibur and loved it. Are you through with the series? the mouse lord must die! p.s your saxon tales have inspired me to grow a beard. Jimmy Dowell
Hi Bernard I like many others immensely enjoyed your Arthur novels I find the amount of people asking for a further book amusing however have you ever considered writing a Arthurian novel told from the viewpoint of one of the other main characters? Perhaps Merlin he seemed to disappear for large chunks of the trilogy, maybe he scribbled down some notes before he met his demise or perhaps Lancelot/Mordred/Galahad felt it necessary to confess any sins they had in the written form perhaps to a willing scribe or monk. I would also add my vote for a solo novel for Harper as well if you have time and your muse is willing.
On a final note, do you have any plans for a book tour in the UK when Sword Song is released?
And have you ever had chance to enjoy the beautiful Snowdon national park? Best wishes Phil
No, sorry. I'm through with Arthur! I loved writing those three books, really loved it, but to go back would be to court disappointment! So, sorry, it's not going to happen!
Don't know yet, but we'll keep you posted.
Many many times! When the world was young I used to stay in an amazing cottage in Beddgelert and, before that, when the world was new-born and still full of hope, I spent weeks and weeks in a remote cottage hard underneath the beautiful mountain called Cnicht, and still have a delicate watercolour of that peak hanging in my office. Happy, long-gone days!
