Although Dutch I very much like the Saxon stories and read them in your language in order not to miss anything that gets lost in translation. I would like to inquire if and when the sequel to “the Burning Land”…

Asking a similar question as to those that have gone before… but in a slightly different way. How do you prioritise which ‘Hero’ – or First Person – next? You obviously like inventing characters, but IMHO you don’t like ending…

High praise for your adventuresome history thrillers. I have found the Saxon series particularly enthralling and like how Uhtred and you have developed the story (with now, Uhtred having flashbacks about these war torn periods). I especially love the biology…
