Hello Mr. Cornwell,

This email is only to tell you how much i am enjoying The Saxon Stories.  I have never read anything like it before.  Part of that is because I have never read historical fiction, but it's mostly your writing that makes it so enjoyable.

I am American, but like many of us here, I trace my ancestry to England and Ireland.  Interestingly, my paternal grandmother is named Gun, and there are connections with that genetic line to Scandinavia.  Probably another reason I find these stories so fascinating.

I have just finished The Last Kingdom, and went right into The Pale Horseman.  This email is really just a fan letter to say thank you.

I wish you all the best,

Brett Rosselle

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much, I am enjoying reading your books tremendously. There are only a few left for me to read which I am looking forward to, I have just finished the Starbuck ones and cannot wait for book 5. We are also reading from a Kindle since we work and live on a sailing yacht and therefor space is at a premium. Thank you.

Your sailing yacht stories are very real and accurate, it helps because I have sailed most of those areas in winter and summer.

Wish you and your family a healthy and safe 2016.

Kind regards,

Hello Mr. Cornwell,

My name is Jacob Breadman. I am currently a second year student studying history at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

Simply, I would like to thank you for the countless hours of enjoyment you have given me with your Uhtred stories. Your books are one of the main reasons I am so deeply interested in the medieval period, especially the Anglo-Saxon period of British history. In the future, I plan on pursuing future academic endeavours in that area of study. Your Grail Quest series is next on my reading list!

Thank you for taking the time to read my email. I wish you a merry Christmas holidays and a productive, yet relaxing, 2016!

Your loyal oath-man,

Jacob Breadman

Happy New Year BC,

Warriors of the Storm - this is the best Uhtred so far and they've all been fantastic.  I waited so long for the next instalment and this one is superb.  The battle scenes getting more dramatic (if poss!), the characters more familiar and I just couldn't put it down.  This is a wonderful novel, fast paced and action packed but also full of human anxieties, fears and loves.  I just can't praise it enough.  Hope "thank you" will suffice.

I hope this message finds you well after a hectic December.

What can I say? Series One of The Last Kingdom has now been concluded by The Beeb - and yes I know, there has been much comment about its adherence (or lack of it) to the original books.  But Hell on wheels, the first series was an absolute hoot - full of derring-do; and the development of the supporting luvvies' characters - King A, and Father B, in particular have been rather fun.  Indeed a twist I hadn't considered in the original books.

Well done Beeb, and well done you.

Best wishes for the New Year,

Steve

Hello Bernard,

I have just completed reading the Warriors of the Storm ,once again you authored another brilliant story ,which was a great read.I am like Uthred getting older ,I need you to bring closure to your Saxon epic.I always thought Sharpe was your masterpiece but I now believe your Saxon Chronicles have surpassed even Sharpe.

May I wish you and your family a happy new year and thank you for the hours of great reading you have provided me over many years.

Kind regards

Michael

Cheers and merry Christmas,

I am a new fan who started reading your books about 8 months ago. I started with the Grail quest series  then the Warrior chronicles. Then I moved to the Arthur books and now just finished the Starbuck books. I tend to stick with a author and as I read poke around non fiction works related to the same subject to gauge how much liberty ( if any) was taken by the author.  I really love historical novels and historical works in general.  As a US civil war buff I fell in love with the Starbuck books, so please don't tarry in bringing your fans more of his story. We won't care how close in line they are to your Sharpe's works. I am now going to begin those books now.

On another note I saw the new BBC version on the Warrior Chronicles and was not over happy but thought they did an alright job with what I have seen so far. I do get upset when movies or television do not follow the book. Please have a very Happy and  productive New Year.

 

Yours

Shannon Lee MacDonald

PS I will continue to bug you about Starbuck.

Hi!

Just finished the eighth book series beginning with The Last Kingdom and ended with The Empty Throne. It was fantastic. 1 ½ month went quickly. Waiting for the Warriors of the Storm to be published in Finnish. Thank's a lot, Bernard.

Greetings from Finnland.
