Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I love your books. I have read the Saxon Stories and the Starbuck Chroncle twice. I have also read most of your other books.

I have never written to an author before but I would like to ask you to consider writing the remaining chapters of the Starbuck Chronicles since I feel that the story is so great and deserves to be completed.

Sincerely,
Kenneth Johansson

Dear Mr. Cornwell
Thank you for your work. Only a few short years ago my father introduced me to you through the Sharpe series and since that time, we both read everything you have published. He and I  enjoyed sharing your books, both literarily and figuratively; he would pass on copies of your books to me (only after he had finished them) and then we'd  talk about your characters, plots and the history assocaited with them.
Last September (2011), my Dad passed away very suddenly. One of the things that remains is a deep appreciation for your work, both new and old, not only for the craft involved in their creation and your unique writing style but for what it represented to Dad and I. You have become apart of the many things I was able to share with my father , and for that I am truly grateful.
It was only after Dad had passed that I picked up "Death of Kings" - which  I read with him in mind, knowing that he would have thoroughly enjoyed it, and also, knowing he would have laughed at the irony of the title.:)
I ramble.
Again, thank you - and I wish you health and happiness.

Kindest regards,

John Brennen

G'day Bernard,

Thank you for so many years of pleasurable reading. I'm I huge fan of Sharpe and Uhtred, but I have to admit your Aurthurian series is my favourite. I recently got married and part of my wife's hens night was a quiz about me (my favourite colour, football team etc...) The only question she got right apart from my birthday, was my favourite author...Bernard Cornwell. Apparently after dusting 30 odd books with your name on them, it stuck in her mind...

Thanks again and please keep Uhtred and Sharpe hitting the shelves.

Frank

Bernard,
I learned to love reading all kinds of books and while I don't believe that I have the critical skill to comment in a publication, I still think that my opinion is valued among my friends and peers.
I'm 1/2 way through Sharpe having devoured Arthur and Saxon in the last few months - nearly all these books (with the exception of Trafalgar) had me captivated for the short time it took me to navigate them.
Where I feel you excel is in the balance of story, pace and historical fact.
Having read many of my wife's books, I'd like to suggest spending slightly more time on the relationships and inter-personal tension that the subject matter lends itself to so that the ladies can feel a little more comfortable being exposed to your wonderful historic adventures.

I have been a very reluctant reader for many years, I have recently started reading historical novels, I cannot put them down having just completed the latest Saxon novel I'm waiting for the next. Thank you for many hours of enjoyment

Your writing abilities are pure genius!

I have finished your Saxon Chronicles series, Stonehenge and working on the third of the Arthur Books. I had no idea I had such a fascination with British history and legends until I stumbled on one of your books on Kindle a few months back!

Looking forward to many more hours of stimulating reading and learning!

Thank you,

Dave

Dear Mr Cornwell,

Just finished your excellent "Death of Kings" and eagerly await the next installment.
I was introduced to your work some five years ago and have now read just about everything you have published. I did have a question about the Thomas of Hookton series but now have the answer I was looking for from your excellent questions and response page on your website. So I just wanted to say thank you for the books and how you have filled many boring hours travelling to and from London on the train.

Kind Regards
Steve

PS I do however have one complaint, you keep making me late for things, especially work, as I can't seem to put your work down. (Thanks again.)

Hi Mr. Cornwell,

I recently discovered your books at my public library and am very much enjoying them (read Archer's Tale first, then Agincourt, and now Stonehenge). I love historical fiction and you do first rate research. I have a background in archeaology and used to do historical re-enactment so I appreciate this. I also love your appreciation for the archer's craft - I used to shoot (bare-bow traditional) but have had to give that up do to "archer's elbow".  :)

I see you live on the Cape. I love the Cape - pretty much grew up there every summer (camping at Nickerson State Forest) until the Cape just got too touristy and crowded. Although I still sometimes go in late September when the weather is still lovely and you can take dogs on the beaches.

Well anyway, I look forward to reading more of your books and I also appreciate your reading list on your website - I recently discovered interlibrary loan and am always looking for more stuff to read.

Hope you enjoy your summer. I will maybe on the Cape while reading one of your books.

Thank You Sir for your great work. I have read The Saxon stories and enjoyed so much the whole story, the way You describe the characters and how nicely You combine the plot and all the historical information together. Every time I finish one of Your books it feels like having to say good bye to an old friend and can not wait to get a chance to read more of the Story.
So, again thank You so much and best wishes from Finland!

Hi,
I am reading your Saxon Chronicles series. I just searched on the internet for good medieval books, and discovered your books. I will admit that I am not much of a reader. I read the first book and could not stop. There is so much detail and information in your books. I just finished "Sword Song" and about to start the next one.
I would love to see your book series in a movie.
I am a strong history buff, and I know the Saxon Chronicles are historical fiction books, but they cover majority history. I love how you cover both sides, not just the Saxons.
I just wanted to let you know, please continue to write. I have not read any of you other series, but if they are like this set I am not going to put it down.

Again thank you for the great books.
