The biggest problem with new great books coming out is that you read them in less then 3 days and it’s all over. The Lords of the North was a great book to a great series. The first book I read from you was The Last Kingdom, and I must say I am HOOKED! I got really excited that there were 2 more books about the same character, and bought them immediately. Now I am done and want more more more! I guess the reason I am writing is I wanted to know if you planed to continue the Saxon series or are you going to go to the others and then one day come back to the Saxon series? I would like you to keep going with them! Something about the Vikings, and the inter battles Uhtred faces with wanting to be a Dane but knowing that he is a Saxon is very compelling, and you have done an outstanding job of keeping that line very fine to the point that you dont know which way he will turn. Please right another book for Uhtred! Oh one more thing, in the Pale Horseman, Iseult said that he would meet a woman of gold, but now his latest lady has dark hair. Will there be another? And was the woman of gold reference to Alfred daughter, which was kind of implied in the book itself? Thanks for your creativity and devotion to history! It really comes through in your work, and I love to read it and dream! Ryan ONeil

Dear Bernard please could you tell me when the next installment of the saxon saga is due!! As I am a big fan of Uhtred.

I understood that further episodes in the Uhtred Saga were planned. Is this the case and if so when is the next book due to appear? Brian Rowland
