Hi Bernard,
on looking through your biography, I noticed that your mother had been a member of the WAAF. My late mother was a Captain in the South African WAAF (and a pilot), and my father was a Spitfire pilot in the Western Desert, and Italy.My mother had just been promoted, and was about to be transferred to Cairo, when she found out she was pregnant with me, and I was born in 1942, for which I was most gratefull, but sorry that I messed up her war effort. In closing, I am a military history nut, with emphases on the Peninsula Campaign. Therefore great Sharpe fan, as well as Starbuck books.

Your books are awesome. Remember me from my grandfather dead and make me feel so happy, with the moments we had together

Dear Sir.
Please write faster.
With regards,
avid fan.
P.S, Jonathan Keeble is the only narrator who can properly bring out the essence and brilliance in your writing.
I have long awaited to purchase all the books listed with this series and finally have a chance to enjoy a great group of novels that give so much depth of history. I have since also watched The Last Kingdom on Netflix, being that the 2nd season has just been released, I am patiently waiting for more. What a great show and I believe that your audience will further grow largely because of this. thank you for allowing me to read such great novels and watch an absolutely amazing show! to silver and gold and hopefully a 3rd 4th and 5th season of The Last Kingdom! Team Uhtred!

I am a lover of history and fall back through time when reading your books. I grieve hard when I have to return. But thank you anyway.

Dear Bernard,
First, let me say how much I have enjoyed reading all of your series. I have loved the Last Kingdom tv series and the Sharpe series was amazing. Over The Hills and Far Away by John Tams is a fantastic song and suited the show so well. I'm not sure how much you consider the music for your tv adaptations, but I heard a fantastic song on the radio the other day and instantly thought it would be perfect for your Rebel series. It's Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier by Corb Lund. He has another song called I Wanna Be In the Cavalry which is pretty good too. Have a listen, I think you'll like it. Please keep on writing!
Take care,
Bryan
I listened, I like! Thank you!!!!

I read Enemy of God as part of a book club. I wanted you to know it was one of my favorite historical fiction novels I've ever read. I wrote a review of it on my blog and gave it a five-star rating. Here's the link if you want to check it out.

Thank you so much for writing the 'Last Kingdom' series. I have just finished 'The Flame Bearer' and want to let you know that I have really enjoyed each and every book.
Reading the last paragraph of the epilogue I am tempted to believe that there are more to come even if Uhtred has now become lord of Bebbanburg. Fingers crossed.
Thanks again for the pleasure that your books give.
Regards
Peter
Really enjoyed the series of books so far, know Bamburgh well also live just North of Durham so pondered for years how to attack both castles. Really come to love Uhtred, thank you for hours of total enjoyment, though pinning for another book.

Dear Mr. Cornwell,
As a fan of several of your series, especially the Saxon Tales and The Grail series, I was very surprised to learn that you live only a few miles away. I am currently in the middle of rereading all of the Saxon Tales books to refresh my memory before plunging into The Flame Bearer. Your books have inspired me to dig deeper into the history behind them and I have learned much as a result. I just wanted to wish you a hearty "welcome to Charleston!" (even though it seems you have already lived here for several years) and I hope to run into you around town some day.
Sincerely,
Adam Taylor
