I greatly enjoy reading your books and have just re-read The Burning Land. Your mention of Thundersley in the Historical Note prompts me to say that I went to Chalkwell Hall School and to Westcliff High School.As an 11 year old I enjoyed messing about in our 12ft clinker dinghy with its centreboard around Canvey Island.Misjudging the time led to long muddy walks ashore followed by a return at sparrowrise to float off on the rising tide.All these memories make me wonder whether the hill which in the 1200s became the site for Hadleigh Castle would have figured in the approach to South Benfleet. Purely as a matter of interest I am now 85 and still going strong after a long Service life in India and Burma followed by forty years or so teaching English, Latin, Spanish French and Japanese.After 21 years in New Zealand I now live in this coastal paradise in Queensland, Australia
My best wishes

I only discovered you a little over a year ago and have already read the saxon, grail, and warlord series. I'm currently half way through battle flag.  You are by far my favorite author and I am absolutely thrilled I haven't even started the sharpe series yet.  Just wanted to say thank you for an awesome year.
sincerely,

stonehenge was amazing as well.

Hello Bernard,

Just worked my way through the whole of Sharpe [except for the shorts] because my wife says "space!", and was going back to Ramage when 1356 was highlighted...Thomas ..so I started Harlequin again ..Ab Fab Great! Crecy at the moment...there's just too little time and too few books coming..I want the next Alfred already..read Death of Kings within the first week of it arriving and passed it to my friend who reads all..just keep producing and enjoying life please..

Dear Mister Cornwell,

I finished reading your latest book "Death of Kings" and I want to thank you for all the thrilling, interesting and fascinating stories, you are writing. I experienced great hours with Uhtred, Sharpe, Arthur and other heroes and I'm thankful, that the USA didn't give you a green card to work as a journalist. :)
Best wishes from a great fan in Germany,

Hi Bernard.

My wife brought me a cheap paperback (Bloody Ground) from the local K-Mart in Queensland Australia in 2009. I remember thinking at first when I saw the cover.. "looks like a load ..." Well here I am waiting now to get 1356. It is the only one left to read. Love them all. Please write another Uthred. He is my favourite. And thank you for so many delightful books.

Mr Cornwell:
I have just recently discovered you as an author. I love history and usually read only non-fiction books relative to that subject. Although your books are considered fiction, the fact that they are based on historical truth and are so well written i find them most enjoyable. To date I have read only two of your books, "The Fort" and "Agincourt" and found them hard to put once I started reading them. The detail in your writing really makes the reader feel as though he is part of the experience. I will be reading many more of your books in the future. As a retiree without a lot of money to travel etc. I will find my escape or respite through your books. Thank you for doing what you do.

I only started reading Sharpe books about 18 months ago and have read about half. Wow where do you get these ideas from - the TV series is also excellent and I note that you say some of the TV plots are nothing like the book they represent. Keep writing and we will keeping read

Hi Bernard,
Just finished reading Death of Kings which means I have only Stonehenge and 1356 to go before I can claim to have read every one of your books.
To say I enjoy your work would be something of an understatement! Are you planning a trip to Sydney, Australia any time soon? You should you know - I'd be pleased to shout you a beer, or a Jameson.
Now stop buggering about answering puerile emails from besotted fans and get cracking with Uhtred's next installment.
Warm regards,
Ken
