Good Evening Bernard,

We just wanted to let you know we started reading you 14 years ago, while we were living in Hong Kong, and my wife, Jayanti, presented me your Arthurian Legend books as a birthday gift.  We were instantly hooked and devour everything you write.  Further, we enjoy our trips to Europe now from the US, just so we can purchase your latest release earlier than here!

I just finished "Warriors of the Storm," and moved it to Jayanti's "next read" shelf...it is like seeing an old friend, and catching up after two years.

Thank you and keep them coming....whatever they are!

Jayanti and Kit Menches

I have read (I believe) all of your books--many of the Sharpe series more than once--and I am taking this opportunity to say thank you for the never-failing time traveling sense of period atmosphere, the humanity, the wry wisdom and verisimilitude--a sense of the familiar--that graces every page of your work.  I understand that the praise of your readers is very likely not the purpose or goal of your work.  Also, I imagine that there has been no dearth of sincerely felt and expressed appreciation of your work over the years.  But, if I can imagine one step farther, it can't be a bad thing ever to know that another soul has been touched and another life enriched.  If all this seems excessive--well, it's just a hint of the sheer joy you've given me.  Gushing as it may seem.

I am a retired news columnist working on a memoir of my life as an Rock musician in the  60s.  And no, I am not asking you to read it or consider it for a second.  I mention it simply to indicate I have an sense of the effort involved in the craft of writing...a sense that informs my praise and appreciation.  Nor am I making a bid of any sort for your attention.  If you have actually read this I might be surprised, but either way, I choose to assume you will have and we can leave it at that.  Thanks again, Your devotee and possible future companion in the mead halls of Asgard.

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I first borrowed and read The Pale Horseman in Hungarian, from my county's public library (Harghita, Romania), than the rest of the novels from the series they had there, finishing with Death of KIngs. I became a kind of addicted, so next, finding out there were no Hungarian versions available for the following parts, I purchased them from the UK. Right now, despite being 46, I'm like a little boy waiting for a new toy. Can we have #10, please? For yesterday, may we? :)

Best wishes,

PS

Don't know if you've seen this: http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/41830 - unbelievably ambitious.

While I'm at it: when I read the 1st word of the 2nd chapter in The Pagan Lord I thought "After all these years" he's STILL getting better. And I have all your books, and read all but Warriors of the Storm and Waterloo.

Look after yourself.

Thank you so very much for the books, I am in awe of my reading experience every time I finish reading your work each day. Thank you, thank you! Every month, I save to buy more of your books and I will surely read everything you have.

Hi Bernard

I've really enjoyed the Grail series and after a slower start the Nate Starbuck novels.

If there is a criticism about the Grail novels, it's all the rape. You really evoke the sense of violence in battle and I admire very much the accurate historical context.

For me, Nate Starbuck is unfinished. His personal life needs resolution: his relationship with Julia and his father as well as his struggle with Christian faith in the face of the butchery and heroism of war all are strong themes. There is also dealing with General Faulconer, Billy Tumlin and the unmasking of Delaney to be achieved.

I appreciate that Sharpe is your key character and concentration but I'd strongly urge you to write the closing Starbuck book.

Thanks for reading this and for the pleasure of your books.

Kind Regards

Martin

Hello,

I am an Austrian and read all your book in English. My last purchases were the Sharpe audiobooks. They are great listening stuff while driving a car.

The books are read by William Gaminara. I find his reading style  great and his performance of the character Obadiah Hakeswill is incredible.

Thank you for many, many hours of wonderful entertainment.
