So I was visiting with my wife at her sisters in New Hampshire and not being an avid reader I went into her bookcase and pulled out " The Last kingdom" I had never heard of you before and had seen parts of the " Viking" series so I said, WHY NOT !

I am blown away how much a fast read and how well the story flowed. I am hooked and was looking up what the next book was and it seems there are 12 ! I will be getting the others and will read them in order. You really brought the time period to life and made very appealing character's. Being a history buff myself it was quite enjoyable and will be sharing the books with my brothers ! Thanks !

Hello Mr. Cornwell,

 

I first read Sharpes Tiger while on deployment in the middle east, you captured the essence of being a young soldier quite well. So much so that half of my platoon were reading your books before we got home. Since then, your books have brought a great deal of joy to my life through good and bad times. Thank you.

 

I truly hope that Patrick Lassan's experience in the Crimean war will eventually receive a short story or novel. I found him to be one of your more dynamic characters, I could see a great deal of Lucille and Sharpe in him.

 

Also, I hope you give a talk in the Carolinas sometime soon I would love to attend.

 

P.S I am currently a dental student. I am sorry to hear about your negative experiences with dental work.

 

I wish you all the best

Hello Bernard,

I just wanted to say that I just finished reading your Arthur Books and I have to say, your take on the legend of Arther is hands down the best I've read.  To me the sign of a great book is when I reach the end, I feel like I have lost a best friend as I can no longer take part and be a fly on the wall (so to speak) participating in their story.  I will also try some of your other works now, but the Arther series was the first I've read thus far and I so very much enjoyed all three books.

Thank you again for your work and I look forward to meeting and discovering new "friends"!!

Sincerely,

Karel

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I am a huge fan of Starbuck. After watching sharp nearly 15 years ago I discovered Starbuck. I was a “fan” of the ACW since my youth (nearly 40 years ago) and in your novels I found the best stories to get it alive in my mind. As a wargamer it is sometimes very single directed to watch it on gaming tables. Starbuck is the most important source to understand this very American thing. When I read that you won’t write the missing 5th book I was very disappointed about it. Why not give this kind of antihero his well earned final book? He really worked hard over four books for a final book. So, as a huge fan, please write the final book and give Starbuck his peace. Now he is standing in the middle of nowhere (or in the middle of the war in 1862). And he needs to get to Gettysburg and maybe a bit more to the end of the war. I wonder if he will be a part of Lincolns assassination? Or will he go to South America as mercenary in the War of the triple alliance!

Greetings from Hamburg

Hi!

I just want to say thank you.

Your writing is exquisite. Your stories never bore me. I have learned so much from you throughout the years. I love your books, particularly the stories of Sharpe and Uhtred.

I read my first Sharpe's novel when I was 15 (almost 20 years ago) and I haven't stopped reading your novels since then. In a way, I grew up with your characters. They inspired me to study history in college in Saratoga, NY (for obvious reasons). But more than anything, they have shaped me into the person that I am today.

Thank you so much for everything.

Just want to say I'm on Waterloo and have thoroughly enjoyed your writing.  It's the best series I've read since Patrick Obrien's and, like with his, I'll pass the books onto my two brothers.  They equally enjoy them and we get an extra bond in sharing them.

It's amazing to me how you can turn thoughts and imagination into words and then put them on paper.  What a gift.  It's really wonderful.  I have the thoughts and imagination, but it stops there until I read your writing, which makes my imagination whole.  Thank you!

I am a fan of all of your work, and in particular, the Sharpe series.  I've read the books repeatedly over the years.  They are, in fact, my favorite books.  I greatly look forward to the appearance of a new Sharpe book - a treat.  I selfishly hope you will continue writing until eternity ... thank you so much for what you do.

Dear Bernard

Reading your message (you have nothing to apologise for) I just wanted to wish you and your family well during this difficult time. Do not worry about books they come secondary.

My first contact with your books was The Winter King, or O Rei do Inverno, how we call it here in Brazil. Ever since finishing the series, i had to read more, so later i finished the Last Kingdom Series, and now i'am reading the Grail Quest.  Lately i have been focused on improving my english, so i can properly read one of your books with the original writing, which i am excited to do. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you, you became my favorite author and i learned a lot from you. Thank you for  making reading such a joy. I hope to see even more of your books translated to Brazillian Portuguese.

I am just dropping a line to say that your stories have touched me greatly. I started with The Last Kingdom TV show on Netflix. When I saw they were based off of books I was curious and read the Warlord Trilogy which became my favorite book series I ever read… or at least tied with the books of Joe Abercrombie. I don’t know what it is about the stories you write but it feels like a glimpse through time and when found out that you were the writer of Sharpe a series I watched years ago and enjoyed, I just thought how funny it was that one author could have such a great impact on their fans to the point that the fan didn’t even realize who was responsible for their knowledge and entertainment, As I Just finished the Warlord Trilogy, I plan to start the Saxon Stories right after. I hope by the time I finish this series there is even more of your works to read.

Wishing you all the best,
