Mr Cornwell, only found out your site today and I just wanted to say that I can't get enough of your Sharpe series. I devour each new book in around 2 days and impatiently :) wait for the next one to hit the shelves. I'm currently re-reading Sharpe's Gold again for the 3rd time whilst I await your new one in April. Keep up the good work and please write more regularly :) The Sharpe novels I mean. Gary Walsh

Dear Sir, Don't really have a question, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your books! Have read several, including the warlord chronicles, and am just starting the fourth installment of the Starbuck series. Anxiously awaiting the fifth! Sincerely, Dave Zimmer
Bernard, Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoy reading your books. I've been particularly enjoying the Sharpe's series (have read almost all) with their factual basis. Keep up the excellent work! Kind regards Peter Foley
Bernard Cornwell, the trilogy of the grail quest is very very good! good job. Lucas (Lostman ) from Brasil
Thanks - I'm glad to know you like the books.
When will you be doing your next signing in London for your new book, and where will it be? Miss Gwyther
I will be in London during the first week in April for the release of Sharpe's Escape. Where I'll be I don't know yet, but the full itinerary will be posted to the Diary page as soon as we get the details.
The Warlord Chronicles are the finest story I've had the pleasure to read. I like to imagine an old and tired Derfel standing his ground against the saxons at the gates of Dinnewrac, and in the ensuing fight the old warrior returns for one last battle before he jouneys to the otherworld. Robert Milson
Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have read every one of your many books. Thank you for the hours of pleasure I have enjoyed! You must continue the Starbuck Chronicles! Jean H.Kouns.
Hi, in Sharpe's Havoc beginning of chapter 6 you mention in passing the uniform of Lieut. Pelletieu of the French artillery. You describe his breeches and waistcoat as being white. I beleive the uniform of the French Artillery was all blue, including the breeches and waistcoat, with black gaiters and red cuffs and collars. The uniform was very similar to the French Legere. It had not really changed since the days of the old royalist army of the ancien regime. Thought you'd like to know because you always go in for great detail in your novels. Roger
You're absolutely right. Must have been having a bad day. Or perhaps Pelletiere had lost his other breeches?
Hi, I've been reading your books for years. I got a galley of "The Winter King" from a friend in England well before it was published in the States and I loved it. I felt the realism and detail were superb, and coming from a devout Arthurian Legend Geek, that's saying something. Then in a movie rental store, I saw a VHS of one of the Sharpe series. Seeing as it was based on your novels, and I loved your work I rented it. Fell in love with the character, rented all they had, decided Sean Bean was the bomb and became a huge fan of his before most Americans even knew who he was. I now own all the movies on DVD. I am working my way through the entire Sharpe Series and have enjoyed every book. I have read all the Arthur books, Stonehenge, the Grail Quest, "Redcoat," and I just finished reading "The Gallow's Thief." Someday I will get to the Starbuck Chronicles. If I could have read any book in the world, it would be a book set in the 16th century dealing with the Landsknecht written by you. Just an idea... wink wink, nudge nudge. Of course you may have no interest in that period, but I find it fascinating. Anyway, keep up the great work. I'll always be a fan. Dana
Sorry but at the moment my ignorance of the period is total, so don't hold your breath!
Since my grandfather was a union soldier in the Civil War I am fascinated by the Starbuck series, PLEASE don't stop at Antietam. Thank you..Papa Bob
