Medieval History
I was lucky enough recently to be asked by Richard Lee over at the Historical Novel Society, to interview Bernard Cornwell for the September/October releases of the latest book in the Warrior Chronicles/Saxon Stories - The Pagan Lord.
This historical fiction series is right up there in equal first position on my favourite series' of all time list (a list I only keep in my head) next to Robert Low's Oathsworn series.
So you can imagine how honoured I was to have been asked to do this interview with Uhtred's Dad,
Bernard Cornwell.
I did not realise, until it came to organising the ten questions on paper, that I already had some questions rattling around in my coconut. Things I must have pondered on many occasions as I read the series over the years, because when I sat down to compile the interview, most of the questions tumbled out effortlessly.
This was the final result.
Thankyou to Richard Lee at the Historical Novel Society and to Bernard Cornwell for this opportunity.
