Mr. Cornwell, I’m sure that you receive much praise for your work in historical fiction, but I would still very much like to express my appreciation for your Saxon Tales. I received the first two as a late Christmas present, but I read through both within two weeks and I was quick to purchase the following two. My interest in pre-England Britain has grown dramatically from the four books and, as I’m sure you’ve deduced from my e-mail address, I’ve always had an interest in the Norse gods. My one question that I do have for you is do you have any personal belief in the pagan gods? If that is to personal a question, by all means, you aren’t obliged to answer.
My one comment I would like to express is that there was no teaser-chapter in Sword Song as there was in the previous three. Does that mean I have to wait a long time to hear more of Uhtred of Bebbanburg? I’m sure I’ll hear back from you soon after all “Fate is inexonerable.”
