Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I love your way to write.Love to read every book you wrote and learning from your way to be syntetic-descripting at the same time ( hope I was clear ) .

Today (02/28/2013) I was perusing the IMDB birthdays, and noticed a favorite in the list; Stanley Baker.  I went to his page and there was a prominent photo of him in his redcoat from Zulu.  The first thought in my mind was, "This is what Richard Sharpe looks like!"  I really enjoy Sean Bean as Richard, but Stanley Baker in my mind would have been the quintessential Richard Sharpe.  I love your books, thank you good sir!

I'd like to thank you Mr Cornwell for finding the inspiration inside me to read books (I never used to like reading and books when I was a child), I bought the other week your Azincourt book and I can't put it down! I always liked your Sharpe books but the story of Nick Hook has taken me to another level, I feel like I'm like there with him so thank you for writing such great books. Looking forward to reading my next book the Death of Kings and can't wait to see if they make a film and if they have the cast I have in my head. Thank you

your pleased reader

Thank you ...for the fantastic Sharpe series. I've just put down Devil having read them all back to back chronologically and feeling bereft!

They've made good company over the last few months and I'm really going to miss my fix!

I don't know if you'll read this, but wanted to make the effort to thank you anyway. The Peninsula war is a period of history I knew very little about and your writing has really inspired me to research more on the subject.

So, many thanks and keep up the good work!

All best

I have sent other messages in the past but I just finished 1356 and again I say to you sir.. Bravo! Another excellent read!  The way you right battle scenes is second to none. I feel like I could close my eyes and transport back to that scene. The Warlord Chronicles will always remain my first read and favorite read I reread them all the time. All your protagonist I become one with. I live a full life in military and law enforcement, so reading is just a love of mine and I haven't really stopped reading your books since discovering The Winter King in a friend's house and asking to keep it. That was 3 years ago. I am about to begin Gallows Thief and I cant wait to get started. thank you sir for the hours of enjoyment and entertainment you have given to me! From a big fan in the U.S. Saxon stories are Fantastic cant wait for the next one!

I just finished the book 1356. As always with your output this book was a joy to read.  Thank you for your efforts and please don't retire!

Dear Bernard,

For your fans, for whom you cannot write fast enough, I have the following recommendations:  Any of the books (Fiction & non-fiction) written by explorer Tim Severin, but particularly the Viking series starting with Odinn's Child.  Captain Scott written by Ranulph Fiennes, which prompted me to read a whole raft of books about Scott and Shackleton.  My Early Life by Winston Churchill, an absolutely astonishing autobiography, and possibly all true.  Finally (a bit of a surprise this one) Paths of Glory by Jeffrey Archer, a fictional account of George Mallory's 1924 Everest expedition.
My thanks again for all your work.

Dear Bernard,
Thank you for all the books.  I started with the Warlord series as I had an interest in Arthur, and progressed to the others.  I have read nearly all of them, some bought, some borrowed and some from the library.  I saved Sharpe for a rainy day, which eventually came and have spent eight happy months rooting for him.  I have now watched the ITV films, and feel he has become so much a part of my life that I am not sure what I will do without him.  I am happy to hear that you may be writing more adventures for him and Harper,there were many loose ends to tie up, not least concerning Fredrickson and Jane Gibbons, but I'd like to see Simmerson come to a nasty end too!  I also enjoyed the expertly written sailing novels, I have a small gaff rigged yacht which I potter about in and so often authors write about the subject with no personal experience just concentrating on some dull romantic thread.  Yours are written for sailors.  I am just starting the Starbuck books, which will keep me
going for a month or two, but please keep writing, especially about Sharpe, but new characters would be welcome also.  There is so much English history to draw on and so many wonderful characters who populate it.  Your historical research is awe inspiring.

Yours,

Paul Thomas.

Mr. Cornwell,

I have read and enjoyed a number of your books. It always struck me as curious your occasional reference to theological facts or issues. Even in your seeming very anti clerical stories of early Britain, you seemed to know your materiel better than the average author. I made the assumption that you had some background in the some of the rigid areas of Christianity. As I have a background in the Plymouth Brethren, I was not surprised to to see in your biography that yours was similar. Although I have left the PB, I have not left the Faith. A wider understanding of things was what I required. I wish you continued success and hope you will write many more historical novels in the future. In particular, the Starbuck series would be a great place to pick up a thread. Your description of the Battle of Antietam was the best I have read to date..   .

Dear Mr. Cornwell.
At the moment I am reading your Saxon Tales for the second time. I have all six of them/ They are my favourite books. I could say a lot how wonderful  they are, but I don't want to waste your time.In your last book Uhtred is 45 only and at 80+ he  is still alive. I hope you will write five or six more books about his exiting live. Please, please do!!!
Sincerely
Mrs. L. Gopal
