Much of the time I've been writing Alfred the Great's story of resisting invasions of Wessex has coincided with Ukraine resisting invasion. That has often been in my mind as I wrote.
I do sincerely hope that President Zelensky and Ukraine survive and succeed in spite of yesterday.

Lovely reader review: 'Alfred of Wessex':
"Brilliant book, full of atmosphere and character development. If you read and enjoyed Cornwell’s Saxons Stories you’ll enjoy this telling of Alfred’s story from a slightly different perspective."

Just listened to the interview with Richard Osman at the end of the audiobook of his 4th Thursday Murder Club. One snippet - he edits away very little at the editing stage, preferring to mostly edit chapters as he writes (as do I). Also - how he reveals characters' lives slowly.
