Q

Mr. Cornwell,

I just came here to thank you for your books!  I’ve just read the first two books of the Warlord Chronicles and I really appreciate the depth and perspective you bring to the myths. It such a pleasure to learn while being so engrossed in a story.

I had no idea about the rest of your catalogue - my “to read” list has just grown dramatically!

All the best,

Mark Beaudet


Q

I won't ask you to read or sign anything with this correspondence; I simply ask that Alexander Dreymon narrate the book series as Uhtred. Then sell it to me on Audible!  I love to read, but don't have much time to sit with a physical book, so I use Audible and I'd love to hear the on-screen Uhtred share his whole story, unabridged. :) Just an idea from a girl in Texas!

Thanks for entertaining the idea.

Truly yours,

Katherine Combs

Hello Bernard,

My name is Brent Simons. I am writing to you from the no longer snowy state a bit north of you in Vermont. I just wanted to tell you how truly fond I am of your work. The Sharpe's and Starbuck Chronicles are some of my favorites. The feeling is shared by members of my family as well. My younger brother (who now lives in Oslo, Norway) and I were just chatting about your latest book in the Sharpe's Series. I can't wait to read it!

I truly hope you are taking care of yourself during these difficult times. If you are ever traveling this way please look me up and stop in for a cup of tea or something stronger! :)

Kindest regards,

Brent Simons, Vergennes, VT

Dear Sir,

I have read all your Sharpe series as well as 8 others. You have an amazing talent for historical fiction, and I thank you. It appears in Sharpe's Assassin that this is the end of your Sharpe series, but you tantalizingly say in the "historical note" that you will leave Sharpe "for the moment" in Normandy. Long live Sharpe and Harper.  By the way, if Col. Lanier is the monster in Napoleon's army, then surely Sharpe is the monster in the Duke's army.  And yet for some reason Lucille loves him. A bit more information on her feelings and perspective toward him would be very nice.  Thanks so much.

With great respect,

Roger Nye

Dear Bernard

I have felt compelled to send you an email after watching ‘The Last Kingdom’ - such is it’s brilliance!

I enjoyed ‘Vikings’ enormously but the script, historical reference of ‘LK’ left it in it’s wake!

‘Sharpe’ was also a pivotal part of my young life and quickly received cult status for a host of reasons - again the superb formula of weaving fiction with historical fact and of course….Sean Bean’s performance. His unrivalled skill of using the word ‘bastard’ just wonderful! He should have been Bond: ‘Bastard, James Bastard!’

Yet, it was so multi layered and had all the components of life from joy to despair…again repeated in ‘LK’ to masterful effect.

So in a nutshell - a huge huge huge  ‘Thanks’ for the joy you have given to all!

Forever grateful!

Dear Mr Cornwell

being on vacation many years ago in the UK, I bought "burning land" accidentally since it was on sale in the bookshops. I was immediately enthralled and started to absorb your books from there on. I can't say which of your characters I prefer or better which historical setting I prefer where you put your character in.

Thank you very much for the many reading hours and you adding to the moods of a rebels heart. I'm eager to travel to Bebbanburg this Easter vacation.

Best regards

Q

Am just reading the fourth novel 'The Fields of Death' of Simon Scarrows's quartet on Wellington and Napoleon when I came across on the last page of chapter 38 a reference to a Major of the 95th who carries a rifle and is called Richard. How kind of Mr Scarrow to include our hero Richard Sharpe into his book.

May Sharpe keep on marching

Kind regards

Just a short note of appreciation for your works.

I have been a fan for more than twenty years, and felt it was time to say with all respect... Thank you

I think a great addition to the Sharpe Novels might be stories of his life in the foundling home and career prior to the army.
