| Comments: I am big fan. I have read and I am trying to collect all your books, and I just love them. I too have been reading and studying Military history since I was a child; one of my first words was Wellington because my uncle used to read about the battle of Waterloo. Please keep writing.

| Comments: I wanted to let you know that I have always enjoyed your books, especially the Arthur series. I was never very enamoured with the concept of nights in shining armour now or when I was child the history did not match in my young mind. It was also the time when Oliver Tobias played Arthur on UK TV in the 70's which was much more in tune with my thoughts of a crumbling Roman Britain. I used to read your novels during long patrols at sea in the Falklands sat in my sickbay it struck chord for may reasons one of them is it as it is set in areas I now live near. Great books, good stories and now I am showing them to my children. I have just purchased the CD for ease of use when I am travelling TPS does a very good job. Anyway keep them coming what with Conn Iggulden,Sir Terry Pratchett and the Douglas Adams I will never be a rich man (or poorer in a philosophical way) Oh and the Mithras address, sorry that's not down to you but Rosemary Sutcliffe the first book I read in a day and I have been fascinated in the Romano celts and Mithras ever since,I was stunned when I first saw you mention it as well.Thanks for your great stories

| Comments: Not a question, just a thankyou for taking the time to give some practical advice to would-be writers of historical fiction. I love your books, in particular the Warlord series as from an early age I have been obsessed with Arthurian literature and they really are the most exciting version of the tale I have read to date. Just off now to disassemble a few of your works!

| Comments: Dear Sir I have just finished Stonehenge. I was fascinated by the interpretation and just today read on the BBC site about the recently discovered "wood henge". Thanks for your attention to detail and exhilarating stories. I grew up in Somerset, lived for a while in New York, and currently live in Brazil - so visits to the US allow me to treasure reading and rereading Sharpe, the Archer, everyone! Thank you, Best wishes, Cath Ross-White

| Comments: Dear Bernard, I discovered your fiction for myself only a few weeks ago and I am amazed about what you write and how you do it! I am just in the beginning of reading your books. I read "The Last Kingdom" in Russian and "The Pale Horseman" in English (couldn't find it in Russian) and liked both languages. But I think the most important thing about your books is not just having good time while reading, not that! You urged me to learn more about the British history - that's the most valuable thing! Thank you very much for bringing me into a new world that turned out to be so interesting! Best regards from Svetlana Kuzyaeva Rostov-on-Don, Russia

| Comments: Mr Cornwell, Just a note to let you know how much I have enjoyed your Arthurian and Saxon stories. I don't know if you like film but the recent "Valhalla Rising" perfectly captured my mental image of Uhtred. Just thought you should know! I finished "Heretic" this morning. Thomas is yet another fantastic creation. Please keep writing forever! Kind regards, Mark Woods (Nottingham, England).

| Comments: Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have read The Saxon Stories, and I must say, that I love the Novels. Being a Dane my self, it is both fun and exciting to read your version of the great Vikings quest in England, and from there both learn about English history and Danish History. I am looking forward to the next book in the Saxon Stories (after "Burning Land") Best Regards Jesper (Denmark)

| Comments: Hello Mr. Cornwell, Just let me start by saying I have never emailed an author or done anything like this. You are the first, and I do this only to tell you Thank-You. I started reading your books in late 2009 and since then I can't put them down, right now I am almost done Winter King and once again you amaze me with the books. I love history and love how much depth are in these books.(with the battles, side stories love stories, etc.). The feelings you put in these books comes out of the characters. I have mentioned your name to other book readers I know (which these days, not too much mid 1980's babies read) and they are intrigued and enjoy your books. Your stories make me feel part of them and when I have spare time I immediately go and grab one of your books. So I just wanted to say thank you greatly for your amazing words you put down on paper and letting not only myself, but others enjoy reading it. With Thanks, Gordon King, London, Ontario, Canada

| Comments: Dear Mr. Cornwell Just wanted to say thank you for the splendid adventures you have taken me on. Reading your work is an absolute treat - better than either real life or the movies. (Although i hope films are made of your Arthur books, the Grail Quest and the Saxon Stories.) Please don't worry about replying to this - I'm sure you're overrun with identical notes. Just write us all another Saxon story! Sincerely, Peter Powell.

| Comments: Mr. Cornwell: I've just finished the Starbuck books for the second time and contact you with an entreaty. Nate has unfinished business! Billy Blythe is still out there and Washington Faulkner has not yet received his comeuppance. Plus, the lovely Julia and Nate have unfinished business as well. And, please let's not forget good 'ol Belvedere Delaney. Therefore, I entreat you . . more Starbuck. You did sort of promise in the historical note and the end of Book !V. Thank you, Jim

| Comments: I have nagged you in the past to please get busy writing the next Uhtred adventure. I see others are now busily carrying that mantle so I will drop it. Of course, being a huge fan I must stop complaining about the infrequency of your Saxon installments and thank you for being so prolific in other series. I have never read the Sharpe novels (too many), because I fear I will never be productive again and will have to drop out of graduate school, but I just started The Winter King and I am loving it. At least you have left us with great reads during our excruciating wait for Uhtred. So, thanks. Lori P.S....about Uhtred?

| Comments: Dear Mr. Cornwell, I just finished listening to "The Last Kingdom" on CD. I'm writing to tell you how much I enjoyed it. It was read by Tom Sellwood who speaks like a cocky, arrogant boy or young man - perfect! The story was suspenseful. To the end, I couldn't tell which way Uhtred which go - English or Dane. The character of Ravnor (I may be misspelling it) was so appealing, as was Uhtred. I like books where the writing is wonderful, aside from the story, and for me it was. I happen to like fantasy books and historical novels, such as yours. I'm off for two weeks vacation, but when I return I want to read the next in the series. Please keep writing. Thanks. Joel ps: I'm 66, a biology professor in Boston, paint, play guitar, and move cows every summer on a ranch in Wyoming - in case you wondered.

| Comments: Mr Cornwell, I just wanted to write you a brief note to say that the Warlord Chronicles are without doubt the finest books I have ever read. They were a heartbreaking read and I must say that the duel in Excalibur was the most exciting chapter in any novel I've read. I've just started reading the Saxon Chronicles and again I have to congratulate you on fantastic story telling. Best wishes for the future Chris

| Comments: Hello Mr. Cornwell, I am writing to recommend a book, The Fredericksburg Campaign: Winter War on the Rappahannock by Francis Augustin O'Reilly, if you are truly beginning research to write a 5th Starbuck book I believe this book fits the bill nicely. No offense intended, but I believe that Sharpe has been fitted within nearly every conceivable plot gap possible that dealt with the Peninsula campaign; hopefully Starbuck has his day. Anyway, the book I have listed about is simply marvelous in describing the key action of the battle up to the broad strategic decisions of the campaign. Dont know how you are going to move on without the counterbalancing of Adam, should be interesting regardless. Best Regards, Mark

| Comments: Dear Mr Cornwell, This comes from an enthusiastic reader of your books. I particularly admire your fluent story-telling which never trips the reader up. I dont think I have ever had to go back and re-read a sentence because it wasnt clear I have re-read lots of the books, though. Can I be allowed a little niggle? Something bothered me the first time I read The Burning Land , so on a re-read I started making a note of where it occurs. Its not much, a small grammar point, but something Uhtred would have known! P. 31, l. 10: Finan alone accompanied Steapa, Skade and I into the monastery. P. 136, l.16: Nor did they notice Finan and I as we emerged into the street behind the tavern. P. 202, l. 19 & the difference between Alfred and I had been his conviction that fate was progress & P. 263, l.26: &and so she [Æthelflæd] she stood with Ralla, Finan and I on the steering platform & It jars particularly coming from Uhtred it sounds as if he is trying to be genteel (Uhtred! Genteel!), or even posh, saying I where it should be me because someone has told him that its better English. But the change in pronouns as objects and after prepositions is about the only remnant of Saxon cases that we still have in modern English. If you read the sentences leaving out the other names you realise immediately that it has to be me . There is absolutely no need to reply to this. I dont want to hold up Uhtreds progress towards Bamburgh. Yours sincerely, Jenny Wood (Bristol, UK)
