Mr. Cornwell, I just finished reading Sword Song and really love the series!! I am just curious as to when you may start working on the next one, the earliest you would expect it to be released, and how many there will be in the series total. I have fallen in love with Uhtred’s story, and can’t wait for the next one. By far my favorite series I have ever read. Keep up the great work! Thank you.

Can you tell me when the sequel to Sword Song will be published? I am already missing Uhtred’s escapades! Andy Goldberg

Mr. Cornwell, I am a very recent reader of your books. I was actually looking for a new sci-fi book in the library when I just happened to go into the Adult fiction section and pick up The Last Kingdom. I was going to put it back but I have always been a lover of history and I found it intriguing. Well, after that I read The Pale Horseman, Lords of the North and Sword Song. Now I have never written to an author before but I must ask you, Where and When will I be able to read the next book? I just started reading your books last month and you had me when Uhtred received his name in such a shocking yet funny manner. (Ok it was terrible his brother’s head was cut off) Nevertheless, it gripped me and now I want the rest. As I know others do. I have not read the Sharpe series but I have started the Winter King just to keep myself occupied. I see on the internet that Azincourt is coming to the UK in October. What about the US? I refuse to read an excerpt I want the whole book. (I don’t want to spoil the surprise or suspense.) So let me know when to expect or if I should expect more about Uhtred. Sincerely yours, JoAnna C. Hampton

Mr. Cornwell, I am sad to say I only ‘discovered’ your work about 3 weeks ago. Since then I have read through the Saxon series with the exception of about 30 pages of Sword Song which I will finish at lunch. I was disappointed to see that this is the last book written in this series but glad to see that it was only written last year. When will the next in this series be out? Hopefully soon. I will pick up The Winter King this evening and start that series until the next Saxon book comes out. I love everything Viking and am really enjoying these books. Please keep up this series, at least until Uhtred takes back Bebbanburg. By the way, I’m descended from this same family as well. Thanks for your work. Rob
