Mr Cornwell ,

you are one of the finest writers I have ever had the pleasure to read, I find myself seeing the stories , not reading them , that quality is rare these days and only to be found (in my humble opinion) in the likes of the David Gemmell( rip)Troy series , Terry Pratchett and (whisper it ) Stephen King - "popular " fiction it may be but your books are rattling good reads and thoroughly entertaining so please do not stop or retire , keep writing so that when I retire I will have plenty of good stuff to read
regards
Jim Carr

I would just like to say thank you for re-igniting my love of reading.  I have read every single one of your books as I am very interested in history.  Whilst I am waiting for more of your books I am currently researching my own family history and already managed to find an unbroken line of 800 years! I cannot wait to read more of your work.  You truly are a terrific writer!

Dear Mr Cornwell,
The family had a get together in Portugal this year. You'll be pleased to hear that my sons and I are avid readers of your Sharpe series and so took the opportunity to visit Badojoz. The city is pretty much as you describe in the historical notes and Evora is better preserved and gives a better impression of the fortifications of the time. We also visited the fort San Cristobal across the river from Badojoz and found that it is in the process of being completely renovated (with EU money and using tower cranes and heavy machinery).  It looks like it will become a heritage site and tourist attraction.  The fort is substantially complete and it was amazing to see the structures as they would have appeared 200 years ago.
Regards,
Ian McWilliam.

Dear Bernard,

I have read every single one of your books, some of the many times.  And I always look forward to the fall when a new book comes out.  I've read each of the Uhtred books as they've come out, and then this year watching the TV series "Vikings", I was inspired to read them all again in a row.  What a fantastic series, and I'm so excited there's a new one coming out this year.  I just went and saw "Pacific Rim" and was thinking again how perfect Charlie Hunnam would be as Uhtred.  I see another reader from Texas thought the same.  Charlie's even from that part of the world, and I can't but think his blonde hair and blue eyes must've come from Saxon or Danish raider.  I was first introduced to you as an author through the "Sharpe" TV series (although I've since read my way backwards and forwards several times through your entire bibliography), and it would be great to introduce you to a whole new readership through a new "Uhtred" series.  Sincerest admiration.

I heard about your book from a friend, and, having enjoyed several of your previous novels, I bought it. I did have a second motive in that I had researched the battle of Poitiers for a book of my own, on Wat Tyler. As such, I wanted to see how you played with the facts, as I knew them, and to find out if that made any difference.
I hope that you will be pleased to hear that I enjoyed the story very much and your version of the battle and numbers tallied very well with my findings and adjustments for the efforts of the spinmeisters of the time!
Congratulations on yet another excellent read, and very many thanks.

Some time ago, I picked up one of your books, the first of the Saxon stories quite by happenstance. I liked it very much and went on to read the Grail series as well. I did not get into the
Sharpe series, but that is a matter of personal preference. I am looking forward to the continuation of Thomas of Hookton and Uhtred of Beebanburg. Keep writing and enjoy summer on the Cape.

Now that I`ve discovered your authorized site I`d like to thank you for all those wonderful hours I`ve spend diving into those worlds of yours.

Dear Mr. Cornwell,
Again greetings from Brazil.
I do not know if you came with this kind of action, but received an email from the publisher responsible for his books here in Brazil to 1356 will be released this July.
September will be the time of the book 11 sharpe, 'Sharpe's Fury "and the first months of 2014 will reach" the pagan lord ".
Hugs from Rio de Janeiro.

First, I am very much enjoying the books so far. I have recently purchased all of the available books in the series after reading The Last Kingdom.
Secondly, Wal-Mart lists The Pale Horseman as "The Pale Horseman: The Lives and Times of Six Women in Revolutionary France". Seeing as how the second part of that title as they list it is absurdly false I thought it should be brought to someone's attention. I would have attempted to bring it to their attention but, I already know where that leads for someone like me, I'm not an agent or publisher or published author.
So, thanks for the writing, I'm enjoying it very much. I do not like the title Wal-Mart has slapped on to your book though.

Sincerely,

Dan Shay

Dear Bernard
I thought this might be of interest, as it's Wellingtons reaction to the death of his Brother in Law at New Orleans.
"We have but one consolation, that he fell as he lived, in the honourable discharge of his duty and distinguished as a soldier and a man. I cannot but regret that he was ever employed on such a service or with such a colleague. The expedition to New Orleans originated with that colleague... The Americans were prepared with an army in a fortified position which still would have been carried, if the duties of others, that is of the Admiral (Sir Alexander Cochrane), had been as well performed as that of he whom we now lament.[3]"
