I have just read the winter king, the best book that I have read, I have read a few sharp books but I just think the winter king was the best for me, please don't stop writing.

Dear Bernard
I love your books and have bought everything (except the Sharpe and Starbuck series) you have published since I first fell on "The Winter King". I have finally got down to reading "Fools and Mortals", which I also love. I intended to whinge about the inappropriate use of commas in this book (the copy editor's and proofreader's jobs – and I'm a proofreader, for Penguin and YUP) but I'm sure you've got more important things to do. Please keep these wonderful, well researched books coming.

I have read many of your Sharpes stories and have always enjoyed them albeit years ago. I enjoyed them but honestly can not remember the theme of any of them other than they fascinated me. Recently, I read Sharpe's Assasin and can say that it was one of the most well-written stories that I have ever read. I am now reading 1356 and find this story thoroughly complete in the scope of your research, historical knowledge, and exquisite writing ability. Thank you for your ability to write a book with with 600 pages and not delve into boredom as many authors do.
Cheers,
Alan
I have just finished book 8 of the Last Kingdom series and I'd like to thank you Bernard for including an interesting section involving Hywel Dda. There is so little historical fiction written about Welsh key historical figures, despite the existence of such rich material. It was lovely to see it in print, and done in such a way to portray Welsh people as intelligent members of a civilised society. Thank you. That was so refreshing.

I've enjoyed your books for some time and reccommended them to friends. I was happy to learn thru Ancestry that i have an ancester named Nathaniel Starbuck. Born in Vermont in the 1700's, so New England is the right area. He had a son Nathaniel Starbucks, Jr who fought in the American Revolution. Just a happy coincidence.
I previously sent info about Nathaniel Starbuck. He was my 9th grandfather Born Feb 20,1634 in Dover, Mass. Married Mary Coffin in 1662. Died June 6, 1719 on Nantucket island. His father was Edward Starbuck, born Feb 16th,1603 in Derbyshire, England. He was a co-purchaser of Nantucket and a saschem indian rep and described as a man of stalwart character.

Dear Mr. Cornwell,
Retirement has allowed me some time so I must correct a long over-due lapse on my part. Thank you sir for every book I've purchased. From the old bookstores, to those I've ordered on line and devoured annually. Since getting Sharpe's Eagle from my mom's Book-of-the-Month club I haven't missed any new releases. Sharpe and Uhtred are of course my dual favorites. Just a sincere thank you! Your hard-work is much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bob Ryan
Why is it so satisfying and enjoyable every time Uhtred kills a priest??

I would love to see you pick up the continued saga of the Starbuck chronicles. Since the victor writes the official "History" it is rare to see a historical subject treated from the losing side, and I especially liked Starbuck for that aspect. I have read all your books, most of them twice because I really like your approach to blending excellent historical research with believable fiction. Of all your works - and in spite of my admiring Uhtred (I, too, am a viking hailing from Denmark 50 years ago...) - I particularly favor the Arthur trilogy.and Stonehenge. But the deep satisfaction of seeing an epic coming to its conclusion, as recently happened in the Last Kingdom series, continues to elude us with Starbuck so please, please, continue that series please!
