Hello Bernard, Firstly I would like to thank you for taking the time to respond to me, as I know you are a busy man. I have just finished reading your last installment of the Saxon stories, The Burning Land and once again you have outdone yourself. I am a huge fan or your Arthur Series, The Grail Quest books, The Saxon stories and Azincourt. I have waited the arrival of the your latest book and once I found it I read it in a day. It was yet another fantastic Uhtred tale and I cannot wait for the next one to arrive. I Have just a few questions if you have the time to respond that would be great.

Firstly how long did it take you to write the Burning Land and when do you plan to start writing the next installment?

Secondly I would like to get my books signed and was wondering will you ever be coming to Australia in the near future so I could get them signed?

Finally I was wondering if you had come across another Series of books by another Author that you enjoyed and be able to recommend with a similar tale of historical fiction? As I do enjoy how you bring real history into your books and I do enjoy your Saxon/viking and Arthur books the most. Once again thank you for your time and all your wonderful books. I have just started to reread the Saxon novels again and I am enjoying rereading your books time and time again. I think I have reread the Arthur Series about 10 or more times now. Cheers Greg
