Please Please finish the Starbuck series, they are too good to leave unfinished. I know you worry they are similar to Sharpe but they honestly don't feel it.

Kind Regards

Hello,

Thank you for finally pulling me into early English history via your well written/researched books on early England. Your Last Kingdom Series books are a joy to read and as such I want to speed through them. However, I force myself to read more slowly and absorb the story along with its historical aspects. My wife and I will be in England next month and, thanks to you, I have a much better grasp of how England came to be! Plus you've made my English history research so much more interesting!

Thank you, and keep writing!!!

Respectfully,

Kenneth White

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I would like to thank you for sharing your fertile imagination with me.  I have read, and re-read, many of your books.

thank you very much.

ARCHAEOLOGY magazine (July/August 2016) has an article concerning excavations at Bamburg Castle in Northumbria.  (Uhtred's Bebbanburg.)  I would be glad to send you the article if you haven't seen it.

Hi I'd just like to thank you for the many hours of entertainment you have provided me with your many books. The first book I read was not the Sharp series but Azincourt. I was hooked after that. I have just completed book 9 of the Last Kingdom series and eagerly await book 10. I served for 30 years as a Police Officer in and around the Chester area so was intrigued with Uhtred's description of the Town all those years ago. I served as Police Liquor Licence Officer for a number of years so was particularly interested in the 'Piss Pot' Ale house. I have to tell you that I can think of a few Public Houses during my time in the job that fitted your description of the premises, and earned it's nickname, perfectly.

Dear Mr Cornwell,

I've tried before to have this discussion with you but it appears you were busy. I don't know what you could have been doing - I can't imagine that you are overtaxed, being a writer can't be too hard surely?

We are neither of us getting any younger and I give you fair warning that if either of us passes before I know the conclusion of the Uhtred story, I'll be a very annoyed man! I've already said that I can't imagine what's keeping you. I type very slowly but i could have banged something out by now, besides which I'm sure you don't type yourself nowadays, surely you can afford someone to help? If not, I'm prepared to help out. At least that way I'll get to finish the story. This is very important to me, so I'd appreciate it if you'd stop messing about with other stories and concentrate on Uhtred.

Many thanks and sincerely yours,

Steve Marsh

I've just finished Sharpe's Devil.  It took me a few years but I've read the entire series.  I first heard of Sharpe when I happened to come across Sharpe on PBS.

Thanks for a great ride. I've absolutely enjoyed time spent with Sharpe and Harper.

Done it again. Missed my tube station reading your book.  Only ever happens with Terry Pratchett or yourself.

the annoying thing is that I am rereading the whole series, so I shoiud not be so engrossed, but I am .

Keep it up please.

Dear Mr. Cornwell;

I have, over the years, read many of your books and enjoyed them both for the tales that they tell as well as the events in history that they bring to life. Recently I read 'The Fort', in which you state in the introduction that 'most of the characters in the novel existed' .... I was therefore intrigued when a character named Isaac Whitney appeared in your novel, which led me to some subsequent genealogical research. It appears that several of my related family served in the Mass. Militia under Capt. Alexander McLellan in his company from Gorham who were part of the Bagaduce Expedition. We are all descendants of a John Whitney who emigrated to Watertown MA from England in 1635. So I am grateful to you in this particular instance for bringing to life not only a notable historical event, but also some family history. I hope to visit Castine ME in the near future to see the site of this event.

With best wishes,

Ralph Whitney
