Dear Mr. Cornwell,
I have been a fan of your books for years now (Saxon tales, Sharpe, Stonehenge, Arthur and the Grail Quest), and I am very happy to find your website through FB. Being so far away (Uruguay), it's great to have this chance to contact you and find more about your books and your writing (and keep in touch with recent news too! ). Thanks to FB, I learned about Death of Kings, so it's really great to be so up-to-date like this! I have just received my lovely hardcover edition, so I'm really happy returning to Saxon Tales once again!  About the website, I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate the Reading Club section, too. I've read quite a few of the titles recommended here, but also discovered some new ones which I hope to enjoy, after Death of Kings, of course.

Sincerely,

Viviana

Where the Hell did you buy your time machine? You must have one, how else could you describe the past in such detail. Reading your books seems like you have lent me your time machine for a while. Thank you for some enjoyable hours in history.
Live long and happy.

Hello Mr. Cornwell.

My name is Alex and I'm 30 years old and I live in Salvador, Brazil. It's incredible how my teenage years would be greater if I had known you, or your books back then. Unfortunately, I only read your first book (The winter king) in 2008. Well, it was a very good experience to find my brother-in-law's box of books in my parent´s house, because I met Derfel Cadarn! Well,  you are my favorite writer and your style is unique. You really transport us to the shield wall!  I was surprised when I knew that we can send our books to get signed by you!  I didn't think this could happen in present time! This act shows the respect that you have on us.  Make a long story short: Please, continue to write your books and amuse us with these amazing stories and characters!

From a big fan of your work.

I love your books. I have never been a big reader. I really started to read in 6th grade when I read the Warrior Cat Books. When I had no money to buy them I stopped reading for a few years until this year my brother handed me Sharpe's Tiger. I finally had something to look towards when I finished my school work. I probally should not have read them as much as I did in class but I did any ways. I would knock out 2-3 books in a week. Soon I was handed the Winter King and Boy I was in love and that's how I picture my King Arthur now! When I finished the Warlord Chronicles I was so full of emotion I cried! I went on to read more about Sharpe and then I read Agincourt and your description of the battles were beautiful and much more interesting than any other description I could have read. Any how I love your books and I recomend them to every one I know.

I AM A GREAT FAN OF THE SAXON SAGA AND AWAIT EACH BOOK WITH GREAT EXCITEMENT. YOU HAVE PROVIDED UHTRED WITH A FACE AND TREMENDOUS SUBSTANCE, BUT FOR ME, THE ACTOR, RICHARD ARMITAGE, HAS PROVIDED HIM WITH A VOICE, IN HIS SUPERB RENDITION OF "LORDS OF THE NORTH".I HAVE HEARD NO OTHER RECORDING TO TOUCH IT.  UHTRED HAS BECOME A TRUE FRIEND BUT I HOPE IT IS A LONG TIME  BEFORE HE RECAPTURES BEBBANBURG SO THAT FRIENDSHIP CAN ENDURE.

I am Dr.Barry Foster.  At the college where I teach an introductory psychology class, I am known as Dr. B.  I simply wish to thank you for your great body of work.  I love teaching and working with my students, but I need a respite, a retreat,and an economical and convenient resort--your books provide all these and more.  I appreciate your discipline, perseverance, dedication, sacrifice, and, if your writing is an accurate reflector of your person, I appreciate your values.  Sharpe's Christmas was particularly appealing to me and, not to psychologize, I think revelatory of you in a way that most of your other books are not allowed to be. But I digress.  So, thank you  again, and if you are ever going to be in the Houston area, I would like to know. Well, the old owl is hooting outside my window so I think I will take my aging bones to bed.

Hello again. Are you aware that Robert Low has tipped his hat to you in the first book of his new Scottish series - The Lion Wakes? The English survivors are gathering themselves after the battle of Stirling Bridge and come across an English knight who is described as "one of Lord Ughtred of Scarborough's men... part of the retinue from Bamburgh". Thought that was a nice touch.

Dear Bernard,
Just finished reading "The Fort" which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Just one small criticism - ROYAL  marines in 1779 I think not!
The "Royal" was granted in 1802, therefore your inclusion of the Corps in "Sharpe's Seige was spot on.
Best wishes

Bernard,

I was fortunate enough to be given a copy of the Battle of Azincourt by a mate at work. I read alot and I love historical military fiction and this was easily one of the best books I've ever read - I smashed it in about 4 days. The other author I really enjoy is Conn Iggulden - no doubt you know his books, another genius. I just wanted to say thanks for a stunning read - I loved the characters, I loved the story and the mix of violence, romance, strategy and history was perfect. I just wanted to say thanks.
