Bernard Cornwell,

You have given me many hours of happiness. How? Your books (my wife says I have to many of yours- I tell her the stories) are a pleasure to read. I hope that I may return some of that happiness to you. I am the composer of Genesis Opera (literal interpretation of 1st 10 chapters of Genesis - no worry about idea as the Bible has been around for a couple years) and we shot (rented cameras,etc... one day - Actors/singers are my friends) the 2nd part of the Adam and Eve story. Enjoy!

Thank   you,

Eloy.

Q

Hello again,
Mr. Cornwell may already be aware of this, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
I watched the 1st episode of The Frankenstein Chronicles last night, starring Sean Bean, and got a big kick out of two scenes referencing his roles as Richard Sharpe.
In one scene two men stroll past whistling "Over the Hills and Far Away", and in another scene Sean says he has a military background with the 95th Rifles.
Love the cross-referencing. I wonder if, in an upcoming episode Sean will say he's descended from a family from Bebenburg.
Regards,
D'Arcy Draper

I fear I haven’t seen The Frankenstein Chronicles, but I’m delighted! I’ll look for the series – thank you!

My favourite gift at Christmas over many has been my hard back copy of your latest book,I have loved all your books. But this year l have done something that I nerve thought I would, having got half way into Fools and Mortals I gave it up as I did not enjoy reading it at all.

Well after reading the Saxon Chronicles, Sea Lord, The Fort, 1352 and then all the  Sharpe series in chronological order I had brought the Warlord series in hardback. Just finished the Winter King; I have really enjoyed it - it lacks the humour - if you know what I mean of Sharpe at times and I miss that - Harper's quips and it is a darker book but none the less very readable and enjoyable. Once again - many thanks - I have literally spent 100's of hours in your books and they have brought me much pleasure - such a gift! A heartfelt thank you.

Some little time ago I wrote a blistering email giving my unneeded opinion of the TV show. I may have referred to Uhtred as a wienie or worse, because, in my not-so-important opinion, book Uhtred and TV Uhtred were too far apart. I would like to sincerely apologize for being such an idiot. After I wrote, I binge-watched both seasons, and it's brilliant.  No, it's not the books, but it's brilliant. Hopefully you've long forgotten my email (if you ever read it), but I am so absolutely ashamed of myself I had to write again.

Oh, no need to apologise! I’m just delighted you finally enjoyed the series – and the third is on the way! Not sure when it will be transmitted, but I suspect the autumn.

Hi Mr Cornwell.

How are you?

I really like the Last kingdom serie. It's like a movie serie, I can't stop to read it. As a history  amateur studious, my mind flies  inside the  landscapes, food and others  descriptions from the medieval time pictured in the books.

I lived in Manchester for a while, the strong north, as described in the book. Its really amazing.

Thank you very much for yours books. Its part of my life.

Kind regards,

Marcos Costa

I confess mild dismay when picking up your new book to find it was not the latest in the Saxon Tales series. Boy, was I ever wrong! F&M was fascinating history and great story telling. Thanks again for a most enjoyable experience.

Thank you so much for giving me something new to read & for the knowledge I've learned of some history. I couldn't put the books down & have loved the series. Hoping for season 3. You are an amazing writer. I'm so glad to have found you. You have enlightened me greatly.

I just finished Waterloo and your discussion of how you developed the series.  I note that you liked the CS Forester Hornblower  books.  So did I. We are of the same age and I am a former US Navy officer.  Loved your Saxon series as well.  I think you and I could have a beer together and enjoy it.  I am starting my first book, fifty years late but worth doing.  Thanks for your inspiration on how to write about history.
