Hello Mr. Cornwell, I wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed your writing, especially the grail quest and saxon stories, can’t wait for the next one of those. I respect the realism in the stories. I was wondering however about Thyra being able to control the hounds so completely with the sounds she made in Lords of the North, it seems a little far-fetched, where did you get the idea? anyway keep up the good work, overall the stories really are excellent. Thanks, Andy B.
